commit 95bf9d646c3c3f95cb0be7e703b371db8da5be68 upstream. When an instruction to save or restore a register from the stack fails in _save_fp_context or _restore_fp_context return with -EFAULT. This change was made to r2300_fpu.S[1] but it looks like it got lost with the introduction of EX2[2]. This is also what the other implementation of _save_fp_context and _restore_fp_context in r4k_fpu.S does, and what is needed for the callers to be able to handle the error. Furthermore calling do_exit(SIGSEGV) from bad_stack is wrong because it does not terminate the entire process it just terminates a single thread. As the changed code was the only caller of arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c:bad_stack remove the problematic and now unused helper function.

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.
