Thanks for pointing out that there is no need to mask the lower 32 bits
here.

It can be modified as follows,
--- a/backends/loongarch_initreg.c
+++ b/backends/loongarch_initreg.c
@@ -79,11 +79,8 @@ loongarch_set_initial_registers_tid (pid_t tid 
__attribute__ ((unused)),
    if (ptrace (PTRACE_GETREGSET, tid, NT_FPREGSET, &iovec) != 0)
      return false;

-  Dwarf_Word dwarf_fregs[32];
-  for (int r = 0; r < 32; r++)
-    dwarf_fregs[r] = fregs.fpr[r] & 0xFFFFFFFF;
-
-  if (! setfunc (32, 32, dwarf_fregs, arg))
+  /* $f0-$f31 */
+  if (! setfunc (32, 32, &fregs.fpr[0], arg))

Do I need to send the v2 patchset again?

Thanks,
Youling.
