In commit 39388e80f9b0c ("x86/fpu: Don't save fxregs for ia32 frames in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()") I removed the statement | if (ia32_fxstate) | copy_fxregs_to_kernel(fpu); and argued that is was wrongly merged because the content was already saved in kernel's state and the content. This was wrong: It is required to write it back because it is only saved on the user-stack and save_fsave_header() reads it from task's FPU-state. I missed that part… Save x87 FPU state unless thread's FPU registers are already up to date.
