Emulated floating point instructions don't ensure that the PF_USED_MATH flag is set for the task. This results in a couple of inconsistencies: - ptrace will return the default initial state of FP registers rather than the values actually stored in struct thread_struct, hiding state that has been updated by emulated floating point instructions. - If a task migrates to a CPU with an FPU after having emulated floating point instructions then its floating point register state will be reset to the default ~0 bit pattern, losing state from the emulated instructions. Fix this by calling init_fp_ctx() from fpu_emulator_cop1Handler() to consistently initialize FP state if it was previously uninitialized, setting the PF_USED_MATH flag in the process. All callers of fpu_emulator_cop1Handler() either call lose_fpu(1) before it in order to save any live FPU registers to struct thread_struct, or in the case of do_cpu() already know that the task does not own an FPU so lose_fpu(1) would be a no-op. Since we know that saving FP context will be unnecessary in the case where FP context was just initialized we move this call into fpu_emulator_cop1Handler() too, providing consistency & avoiding needless duplication. Calls to own_fpu(1) are common after return from fpu_emulator_cop1Handler() too, but this would not be a no-op in the do_cpu() case so these are left as-is. A potential future improvement could be to have fpu_emulator_cop1Handler() restore FPU state automatically only if it saved it, though this may not be optimal if some callers are better off without their current calls to own_fpu(1). One potential example of this could be mipsr2_decoder() which as-is could end up saving & restoring FP context repeatedly & unnecessarily if emulating multiple FP instructions.
