If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "H.J. Lu" commit eaa5a990191d204ba0f9d35dbe5505ec2cdd1460 upstream. GCC will optimize mxcsr_feature_mask_init in arch/x86/kernel/i387.c: memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct)); asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch)); mask = fx_scratch.mxcsr_mask; if (mask == 0) mask = 0x0000ffbf; to memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct)); asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch)); mask = 0x0000ffbf; since asm statement doesn’t say it will update fx_scratch. As the result, the DAZ bit will be cleared. This patch fixes it. This bug dates back to at least kernel 2.6.12. Signed-off-by: H.
