Define an NT_MIPS_FP_MODE core file note and implement a corresponding
regset holding the state handled by PR_SET_FP_MODE and PR_GET_FP_MODE
prctl(2) requests. This lets debug software correctly interpret the
contents of floating-point general registers both in live debugging and
in core files, and also switch floating-point modes of a live process.

- Changed NT_MIPS_FP_MODE to 0x801 to match first nibble of
NT_MIPS_DSP, which was also changed to avoid a conflict.]

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
