Subject: x86, fpu, amd: Clear exceptions in AMD FXSAVE workaround
From: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
commit 26bef1318adc1b3a530ecc807ef99346db2aa8b0 upstream.
Before we do an EMMS in the AMD FXSAVE information leak workaround we
need to clear any pending exceptions, otherwise we trap with a
floating-point exception inside this code.
