Hi Thomas/Greg
We are seeing “get of unsupported state” warnings during FPU initialization in the v5.4.252 and v5.10.189
kernel booted on AWS EC2 instances with Intel processors based on Nitro system. These warnings are observed
in EC2 c5.18xlarge instance:

The issue can be easily reproduced on both virtualized and bare metal instances but interesting thing is
it can’t be found in other latest stable kernels v4.14, v4.19, v5.15 and newer. We tried to bisect between v5.4.251 and v5.4.252 and
were able to find below commit to be the culprit. Also, reverting it in v5.4.252 and v5.10.189 resolved above warnings completely.
x86/fpu: Move FPU initialization into arch_cpu_finalize_init()
commit b81fac906a8f9e682e513ddd95697ec7a20878d4 upstream
We used to speculate the fix might be similar to commit 3f8968f1f0ad (“x86/xen: Fix secondary processors' FPU initialization”) but
since only kernel 5.4/5.10 are impacted, we’re not quite sure how this commit affects them in practice. Could you please take a look and share your insights?
Also put stack traces from v5.10.189:
