4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@xxxxxxxxx> commit b22cbe404a9cc3c7949e380fa1861e31934c8978 upstream. Robert O'Callahan reported that after an execve PTRACE_GETREGSET NT_X86_XSTATE continues to return the pre-exec register values until the exec'ed task modifies FPU state. The test code is at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1164286. What is happening is fpu__clear() does not properly clear fpstate. Fix it by doing just that.
