Carlos O'Donell 2013-11-27 08:01:35 UTC Doc Text The 32-bit Power runtimes, specifically the C library setcontext, getcontext, makecontext, and swapcontext functions will fail if the application makes use of the VSX registers in any way that alters VSX state. The defect itself is a problem in the Linux kernel syscall swapcontext and the kernel will be fixed as soon as possible. Until the kernel is fixed it is recommended that users do not compile with VSX enabled.

The defect itself is a problem in the Linux kernel syscall swapcontext and the kernel will be fixed as soon as possible. Until the kernel is fixed it is recommended that users do not compile with VSX enabled. The 32-bit Power PC runtimes, specifically the C library setcontext(), getcontext(), makecontext(), and swapcontext() functions fail if an application makes use of the Vector-Scalar Extension (VSX) registers in any way that alters VSX state. The defect itself is a problem in the Linux kernel swapcontext() system call. To avoid this problem, do not compile with VSX enabled.
