[PATCH 1/2] MIPS: Disable preemption during prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...)

From: Paul Burton
Date: Thu Apr 21 2016 - 07:44:34 EST


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.
