[PATCH v2] x86/fpu: always restore_xinit_state() when use_eager_cpu()

From: Bobby Powers
Date: Mon Apr 27 2015 - 11:11:13 EST


v2: switch used_math() -> tsk_used_math(tsk) to consistently use the
grabbed tsk instead of current, like in the rest of flush_thread().

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).

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() - apply the same logic here.

Fixes: f893959b ("x86/fpu: Don't abuse drop_init_fpu() in flush_thread()")
