4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Siarhei Liakh <[email protected]> commit 3ae6295ccb7cf6d344908209701badbbbb503e40 upstream. fpu__drop() has an explicit fwait which under some conditions can trigger a fixable FPU exception while in kernel. Thus, we should attempt to fixup the exception first, and only call notify_die() if the fixup failed just like in do_general_protection(). The original call sequence incorrectly triggers KDB entry on debug kernels under particular FPU-intensive workloads. Andy noted, that this makes the whole conditional irq enable thing even more inconsistent, but fixing that it outside the scope of this.
