    xtensa: enable coprocessors that are being flushed · 2958b666
    Max Filippov authored
    coprocessor_flush_all may be called from a context of a thread that is
    different from the thread being flushed. In that case contents of the
    cpenable special register may not match ti->cpenable of the target
    thread, resulting in unhandled coprocessor exception in the kernel
    context.
    Set cpenable special register to the ti->cpenable of the target register
    for the duration of the flush and restore it afterwards.
    This fixes the following crash caused by coprocessor register inspection
    in native gdb:
    
      (gdb) p/x $w0
      Illegal instruction in kernel: sig: 9 [#1] PREEMPT
