Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Fix invalid FPU ptrace state after execve
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 08:56:36 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1479315396-2131-1-git-send-email-yu-cheng.yu@intel.com> (raw)

Robert O'Callahan reported that after an execve PTRACE_GETREGSET
NT_X86_XSTATE continues to return the pre-exec register values
until the exec'ed task modifies FPU state.  The test code is at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1164286.

What is happening is when eagerfpu is enabled, fpu__clear() did
not properly clear fpstate.  Fix it by doing just that.
