3.5.7.19 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "H.J. Lu" <hjl.tools@xxxxxxxxx>

commit eaa5a990191d204ba0f9d35dbe5505ec2cdd1460 upstream.

GCC will optimize mxcsr_feature_mask_init in arch/x86/kernel/i387.c:

		memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct));
		asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch));
		mask = fx_scratch.mxcsr_mask;
		if (mask == 0)
			mask = 0x0000ffbf;

to

		memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct));
		asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch));
		mask = 0x0000ffbf;

since asm statement doesn’t say it will update fx_scratch.  As the
result, the DAZ bit will be cleared.  This patch fixes it. This bug
dates back to at least kernel 2.6.12.
