RE: [Xen-devel] Re: Floating Point Exception when compiling w/ gcc

Please could you try out 2.0-testing.bk and report back. If it works for
you, I'll declare it 2.0.5.
Yes, it works for me!
However, there is still a less frequent problem with ptrace
(which also
occurred even when I'd applied my workaround patch). When running
firefox under gdb only, display corruption and odd crashes in
floating-point code are seen - which are the same symptoms as
I had before.
So I assume that something is still wrong with the floating-point
save/restore in the case where a process is being ptraced.
Hmmm. Please can you try producing a simple set of instructions that
exhibits the bug reliably.
I couldn't find a reliable test case, but I think I've fixed this, too.
It appears to have been a typo in this patch:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10775274
which has not yet been applied to xen-unstable, because it's a patch for
linux 2.6.11.
In the last change of the patch,
if (tsk_used_math(tsk))
should read
if (!tsk_used_math(tsk))
The fix is already checked in to fedora CVS.
