This is the output from the same kernel source built with the same compiler and DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y, where the userspace reproducer works as expected: VFP: bounce: trigger ec532b17 fpexc c0000780 VFP: emulate: INST=0xee377b06 SCR=0x00000000 VFP: bounce: trigger eef1fa10 fpexc c0000780 VFP: emulate: INST=0xeeb40b40 SCR=0x00000000 VFP: raising exceptions 30000000 calvin@raspberry-pi-zero-w ~$ ./vfp-reproducer nan Crudely grepping for vmsr/vmrs instructions in the otherwise nearly idential text for vfp_support_entry() makes the problem obvious: vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101cb8] <+48>: vmrs r7, fpexc vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101cd8] <+80>: vmsr fpexc, r0 vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101d20 ---truncated---
