[RFT PATCH v1 2/7] arm64: restore FPSIMD to default state for kernel and signal contexts

From: Jiang Liu
Date: Fri Sep 27 2013 - 04:07:41 EST


From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>

Restore FPSIMD control and status registers to default values
when creating new FPSIMD contexts for kernel and signal handling,
otherwise the stale value in FPSIMD control and status registers
may affect the new kernal or signal handling contexts.
