Subject: s390/fpu: signals vs. floating point control register
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1b17cb796f5d40ffa239c6926385abd83a77a49b upstream.
git commit 904818e2f229f3d94ec95f6932a6358c81e73d78
"s390/kernel: introduce fpu-internal.h with fpu helper functions"
introduced the fpregs_store / fp_regs_load helper. These function
fail to save and restore the floating pointer control registers.
The effect is that the FPC is not correctly handled on signal
delivery and signal return.
