From 0a5ace2ab08d45cd78d7ef0067cdcd5c812ac54f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2006 18:47:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86-64: Fix FPU corruption This reverts an earlier patch that was found to cause FPU state corruption. I think the corruption happens because unlazy_fpu() can cause FPU exceptions and when it happens after the current switch some processing would affect the state in the wrong process. Thanks to Douglas Crosher and Tom Hughes for testing.
