When an instruction to save or restore a register from the stack fails in _save_fp_context or _restore_fp_context return with -EFAULT. This change was made to r2300_fpu.S[1] but it looks like it got lost with the introduction of EX2[2]. This is also what the other implementation of _save_fp_context and _restore_fp_context in r4k_fpu.S does, and what is needed for the callers to be able to handle the error.
Umm, right, good catch, thanks! I think this ought to be backported. Acked-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@orcam.me.uk> Maciej
