[PATCH 3.16 02/63] x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu if FPU and FXSR are enabled

[Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

3.16.58-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This is a limited version of commit 58122bf1d856 "x86/fpu: Default
eagerfpu=on on all CPUs".  That commit revealed bugs in the use of
eagerfpu together with math emulation or without the FXSR feature.
Although those bugs have been fixed upstream, the fixes do not seem to
be practical to backport to 3.16.

The security issue that motivates using eagerfpu (CVE-2018-3665) is an
information leak through speculative execution, and most CPUs lacking
the FXSR feature also don't implement speculative execution.  The
exceptions I am aware of are the Intel Pentium Pro and AMD K6 family,
which will remain vulnerable to this issue.

Move the eagerfpu variable and associated initialisation into
fpu_init(), since xstate_enable_boot_cpu() won't be called at all if
XSAVE is disabled.
