From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 4249548454f7ba4581aeee26bd83f42b48a14d15 ] Fix a floating-point context restoration regression introduced with commit 9b26616c8d9d ("MIPS: Respect the ISA level in FCSR handling") that causes a Floating Point exception and consequently a kernel oops with hard float configurations when one or more FCSR Enable and their corresponding Cause bits are set both at a time via a ptrace(2) call. To do so reinstate Cause bit masking originally introduced with commit b1442d39fac2 ("MIPS: Prevent user from setting FCSR cause bits") to address this exact problem and then inadvertently removed from the PTRACE_SETFPREGS request with the commit referred above.
