[PATCH 1/5] x86/fpu: Fix math emulation in eager fpu mode

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Fri Jan 22 2016 - 19:56:28 EST


Systems without an FPU are generally old and therefore use lazy FPU
switching. Unsurprisingly, math emulation in eager FPU mode is a
bit buggy. Fix it.

There were two bugs involving kernel code trying to use the FPU
registers in eager mode even if they didn't exist and one BUG_ON
that was incorrect.
