[ Upstream commitf77ac2e378] There are a couple of problems with the exception entry code that deals with FP exceptions (which are reported as UND exceptions) when building the kernel in Thumb2 mode: - the conditional branch to vfp_kmode_exception in vfp_support_entry() may be out of range for its target, depending on how the linker decides to arrange the sections; - when the UND exception is taken in kernel mode, the emulation handling logic is entered via the 'call_fpe' label, which means we end up using the wrong value/mask pairs to match and detect the NEON opcodes. Since UND exceptions in kernel mode are unlikely to occur on a hot path (as opposed to the user mode version which is invoked for VFP support code and lazy restore), we can use the existing undef hook machinery for any kernel mode instruction emulation that is needed, including calling the existing vfp_kmode_exception() routine for unexpected cases. So drop the call to call_fpe, and instead, install an undef hook that will get called for NEON and VFP instructions that trigger an UND exception in kernel mode. While at it, make sure that the PC correction is accurate for the execution mode where the exception was taken, by checking the PSR Thumb bit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
