[PATCH 4.4 04/24] x86/fpu: Disable MPX when eagerfpu is off

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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

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

From: yu-cheng yu <yu-cheng.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

commit a5fe93a549c54838063d2952dd9643b0b18aa67f upstream.

This issue is a fallout from the command-line parsing move.

When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
should disable MPX support. The decision for turning off MPX was
made in fpu__init_system_ctx_switch(), which is after the
selection of the XSAVE format. This patch fixes it by getting
that decision done earlier in fpu__init_system_xstate().
