#1414502 — [PATCH 4.5 018/128] MIPS: Disable preemption during prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...)

4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com>

commit bd239f1e1429e7781096bf3884bdb1b2b1bb4f28 upstream.

Whilst a PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl is performed there are decisions made
based upon whether the task is executing on the current CPU. This may
change if we're preempted, so disable preemption to avoid such changes
for the lifetime of the mode switch.
