    [PATCH] add FP exception mode prctl · fcc6fcc6
    Paul Mackerras authored
    This patch that adds a prctl so that processes can set their
    floating-point exception mode on PPC and on PPC64.  We need this
    because the FP exception mode is controlled by bits in the machine
    state register, which can only be accessed by the kernel, and because
    the exception mode setting interacts with the lazy FPU save/restore
    that the kernel does.
