Floating point instructions in userspace can crash some arm kernels
built with clang/LLD 17.0.6:
BUG: unsupported FP instruction in kernel mode

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

This is a minimal userspace reproducer on a Raspberry Pi Zero W:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main(void)
{
double v = 1.0;
printf("%f\n", NAN + *(volatile double *)&v);
return 0;
}
Another way to consistently trigger the oops is:
calvin at raspberry-pi-zero-w ~$ python -c "import json"
The bug reproduces only when the kernel is built with DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n,
because the pr_debug() calls act as barriers even when not activated.
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:

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

I think LLVM's reordering is valid as the code is currently written: the
compiler doesn't know the instructions have side effects in hardware.
Fix by using "asm volatile" in fmxr() and fmrx(), so they cannot be
reordered with respect to each other. The original compiler now produces
working kernels on my hardware with DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n.
This is the relevant piece of the diff of the vfp_support_entry() text,
from the original oopsing kernel to a working kernel with this patch:
vmrs r0, fpscr
tst r0, #4096
bne 0xc0101d48
tst r0, #458752
beq 0xc0101ecc
