If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior commit 2224d616528194b02424c91c2ee254b3d29942c3 upstream. Booting an i486 with "no387 nofxsr" ends with with the following crash: math_emulate: 0060:c101987d Kernel panic - not syncing: Math emulation needed in kernel on the first context switch in user land. The reason is that copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() tries FNSAVE which does not work as the FPU is turned off. This bug was introduced in: f1c8cd0176078 ("x86/fpu: Change fpu->fpregs_active users to fpu->fpstate_active") Add a check for X86_FEATURE_FPU before trying to save FPU registers (we have such a check in switch_fpu_finish() already).
