[PATCH 0/2] Preserve the VFP state across the fork() call

From: catalin.marinas@arm.com (Catalin Marinas)
Date: 2011-02-14 10:37:33

The VFP state should be copied to the child process during the fork()
system call. This is important because the d16-d31 registers are callee
saved and the compiler may use them for preserving data across function
calls.
