Subject: SDIV / UDIV  Question

Hi  Will

I have a question about sdiv/ udiv  instructions :
In  armv7 A/R  TRM, it said sdiv/udiv will cause 
Divide by zero as undefined exception or just return zero
(decided by implementation) .

So  in kernel ,  should we need register a undef hook to 
Get this undef exception and send SIGFPE to user space
Process ?  


Thanks
