Vincent Chen 921c2533aa riscv: Ensure the value of FP registers in the core dump file is up to date
commit 379eb01c21 upstream.

The value of FP registers in the core dump file comes from the
thread.fstate. However, kernel saves the FP registers to the thread.fstate
only before scheduling out the process. If no process switch happens
during the exception handling process, kernel will not have a chance to
save the latest value of FP registers to thread.fstate. It will cause the
value of FP registers in the core dump file may be incorrect. To solve this
problem, this patch force lets kernel save the FP register into the
thread.fstate if the target task_struct equals the current.

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.
