In hw_breakpoint_control(), encode_ctrl_reg() has already encoded the
MWPnCFG3_LoadEn/MWPnCFG3_StoreEn bits in info-&gt;ctrl. We don't need to
add (1 &lt;&lt; MWPnCFG3_LoadEn | 1 &lt;&lt; MWPnCFG3_StoreEn) unconditionally.

Otherwise we can't set read watchpoint and write watchpoint separately.

This is a port of commit 379eb01c21795edb4c ("riscv: Ensure the value
of FP registers in the core dump file is up to date").

The values of FP/SIMD registers in the core dump file come from the
thread.fpu. However, kernel saves the FP/SIMD registers only before
scheduling out the process. If no process switch happens during the
exception handling, kernel will not have a chance to save the latest
values of FP/SIMD registers. So it may cause their values in the core
dump file incorrect. To solve this problem, force fpr_get()/simd_get()
to save the FP/SIMD registers into the thread.fpu if the target task
equals the current task.

Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This is obviously not ideal, particularly for something this late in
  the cycle.

  Unfortunately we found some uABI issues in the vector support while
  reviewing the GDB port, which has triggered a revert -- probably a
  good sign we should have reviewed GDB before merging this, I guess I
  just dropped the ball because I was so worried about the context
  extension and libc suff I forgot. Hence the late revert.

  There's some risk here as we're still exposing the vector context for
  signal handlers, but changing that would have meant reverting all of
  the vector support. The issues we've found so far have been fixed
  already and they weren't absolute showstoppers, so we're essentially
  just playing it safe by holding ptrace support for another release (or
  until we get through a proper userspace code review).

  Summary:

   - The vector ucontext extension has been extended with vlenb

   - The vector registers ELF core dump note type has been changed to
     avoid aliasing with the CSR type used in embedded systems

   - Support for accessing vector registers via ptrace() has been
     reverted

   - Another build fix for the ISA spec changes around Zifencei/Zicsr
     that manifests on some systems built with binutils-2.37 and

The initial aim is to silence the following objtool warning:

arch/loongarch/kernel/process.o: warning: objtool: arch_cpu_idle_dead() falls through to next function start_thread()

According to tools/objtool/Documentation/objtool.txt, this is because
the last instruction of arch_cpu_idle_dead() is a call to a noreturn
function play_dead(). In order to silence the warning, one simple way
is to add the noreturn function play_dead() to objtool's hard-coded
global_noreturns array, that is to say, just put "NORETURN(play_dead)"
into tools/objtool/noreturns.h, it works well.

But I noticed that play_dead() is only defined once and only called by
arch_cpu_idle_dead(), so put the body of play_dead() into the caller
arch_cpu_idle_dead(), then remove the noreturn function play_dead() is
an alternative way which can reduce the overhead of the function call
at the same time.

<title>LoongArch: Do not kill the task in die() if notify_die() returns NOTIFY_STOP</title>

<id>6933c11fb501a40681d43336b3e0eee9df2abee0</id>
<content type='text'>
If notify_die() returns NOTIFY_STOP, honor the return value from the
handler chain invocation in die() and return without killing the task
as, through a debugger, the fault may have been fixed. It makes sense
even if ignoring the event will make the system unstable: by allowing
access through a debugger it has been compromised already anyway. It
makes our port consistent with x86, arm64, riscv and csky.

Commit 20c0d2d44029 ("[PATCH] i386: pass proper trap numbers to die
chain handlers") may be the earliest of similar changes.

If notify_die() returns NOTIFY_STOP, honor the return value from the
handler chain invocation in die() and return without killing the task
as, through a debugger, the fault may have been fixed. It makes sense
even if ignoring the event will make the system unstable: by allowing
access through a debugger it has been compromised already anyway. It
makes our port consistent with x86, arm64, riscv and csky.

Commit 20c0d2d44029 ("[PATCH] i386: pass proper trap numbers to die
chain handlers") may be the earliest of similar changes.
