Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: always restore_xinit_state() when !use_eager_cpu()
Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2015 18:04:29 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1430085869-4327-1-git-send-email-bobbypowers@gmail.com> (raw)

Oleg's commit f893959b ("x86/fpu: Don't abuse drop_init_fpu() in
flush_thread()") removed drop_init_fpu() usage from flush_thread.
This seems to break things for me - the Go 1.4 test suite fails all
over the place with floating point comparision errors (offending
commit found through bisection).

Note: used_math() looks at current, and should be switch to
tsk_used_math(tsk), but even with this I see test suite breakage.

The functional change was that flush_thread after f893959b only calls
restore_init_xstate when both !use_eager_fpu and !used_math are true.
drop_init_fpu (now fpu_reset_state) calls restore_init_xstate()
regardless of whether current used_math().

There was a lot of commentary on the initial patch - not sure I
understand it all.  Happy to get some pointers or be pointed to a
better fix.
