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--- ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | linux Debian 13.5 (trixie) | 6.11.2-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2024-47716](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2024-47716.md) | Oct 21, 2024 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 6.11.2-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2024-47716](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2024-47716.md) | Oct 21, 2024 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T06:59:42Z UTC.
