Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix VSX signals for older user space binaries

From: Michael Neuling <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:42:36 +1100

When saving an older signal context (smaller context without the extra
VSX state) for a task that has used VSX, currently we'll EINVAL.
Unfortunately if we have an older program which doesn't know about the
newer expanded signal context but happens to execute some VSX
instructions (via some new library that does understand VSX), it will
start getting EINVAL when it wasn't before.

This patch changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in
this case.  It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit
will always be cleared, even if the task executed VSX instructions.

Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated.

Thanks to benh for noticing this problem.

benh: this is for 2.6.28, but we should probably back port it to
      2.6.27 as it changes the user visible API.
