The sc_used_math field of struct sigcontext & its variants has traditionally been used as a boolean value indicating only whether or not floating point context is saved within the sigcontext. With various supported FP modes & the ability to switch between them this information will no longer be enough to decode the meaning of the data stored in the sc_fpregs fields of struct sigcontext. To make that possible 3 bits are defined within sc_used_math: - Bit 0 (USED_FP) represents whether FP was used, essentially providing the boolean flag which sc_used_math as a whole provided previously. - Bit 1 (USED_FR1) provides the value of the Status.FR bit at the time the FP context was saved. - Bit 2 (USED_HYBRID_FPRS) indicates whether the FP context was saved under the hybrid FPR scheme. Essentially, when set the odd singles are located in bits 63:32 of the preceding even indexed sc_fpregs element. Any userland that tests whether the sc_used_math field is zero or non-zero will continue to function as expected. Having said that, I could not find any userland which uses the sc_used_math field at all.
