Usually the kernel provides fixup routines to emulate the fldd and fstd floating-point instructions if they load or store 8-byte from/to a not natuarally aligned memory location. On a 32-bit kernel I noticed that those unaligned handlers didn't worked and instead the application got a SEGV. While checking the code I found two problems: First, the OPCODE_FLDD_L and OPCODE_FSTD_L cases were ifdef'ed out by the CONFIG_PA20 option, and as such those weren't built on a pure 32-bit kernel. This is now fixed by moving the CONFIG_PA20 #ifdef to prevent the compilation of OPCODE_LDD_L and OPCODE_FSTD_L only, and handling the fldd and fstd instructions. The second problem are two bugs in the 32-bit inline assembly code, where the wrong registers where used. The calculation of the natural alignment used %2 (vall) instead of %3 (ior), and the first word was stored back to address %1 (valh) instead of %3 (ior).

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.
