From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit df24fb859a4e200d9324e2974229fbb7adf00aef upstream. Add preempt_disable() + preempt_enable() around math_state_restore() in __restore_xstate_sig(). Otherwise __switch_to() after __thread_fpu_begin() can overwrite fpu->state we are going to restore.
