This is a port of commit 379eb01c21 ("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
