The following two reasons cause FP registers are sometimes not initialized before starting the user program. 1. Currently, the FP context is initialized in flush_thread() function and we expect these initial values to be restored to FP register when doing FP context switch. However, the FP context switch only occurs in switch_to function. Hence, if this process does not be scheduled out and scheduled in before entering the user space, the FP registers have no chance to initialize. 2. In flush_thread(), the state of reg->sstatus.FS inherits from the parent. Hence, the state of reg->sstatus.FS may be dirty. If this process is scheduled out during flush_thread() and initializing the FP register, the fstate_save() in switch_to will corrupt the FP context which has been initialized until flush_thread(). To solve the 1st case, the initialization of the FP register will be completed in start_thread(). It makes sure all FP registers are initialized before starting the user program. For the 2nd case, the state of reg->sstatus.FS in start_thread will be set to SR_FS_OFF to prevent this process from corrupting FP context in doing context save. The FP state is set to SR_FS_INITIAL in start_trhead().
