On 2nd thought - there is one user of CU2 in the kernel - the Cavium support. Nothing else in the stock Linux/MIPS kernel will ever enable c0_status.cu2, so the attempt to execute a CP2 load or store instruction would result in a Coprocessor Unusable exception which whould result in a SIGILL being delivered to the offending process. On Cavium the instructions COP2 is documented to not deliver any exceptions so there isn't really anything that would need to be changed. David - I think we should try to get rid of the processor specifics from this core code so probably having notifiers to run on Address Error or Coprocessor Unusable exceptions would be a solution? I also want to get rid of the Cavium #ifdef from traps.c. Ralf
