[PATCH] x86: Reset FPU on exec

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently we don't reset FPU state on exec. This can be seen as a
(minor) security issue. The bigger issue however is that the
AVX state also does not get reset. So a program that uses SSE
without VZEROUPPER may get a large penalty.

Always set the FPU to the init state at exec time.

For the eager FPU case this restores the init state,
for non eager it forces an init on the next FPU use.
