From 1eb2819d69c818784cab0d4a89a35e36bd753e57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: LEROY Christophe Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2013 16:19:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mpc8xx: Clearer Oops message for Software Emulation Exception This patch modifies the Oops message in case of Software Emulation Exception. The existing message is quite confusing because it refers to FPU Emulation while most often the issue is due to either a non supported instruction (not necessarily FPU related) or a stale instruction due to HW issues. The new message tries to be more generic in order to make the user understand that the Oops is due to something wrong with an instruction, not necessarily due to an FPU instruction.
