From 1f999ab5a1360afc388868cc0ef9afe8edeef3be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Richter Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2010 19:03:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86, xsave: Disable xsave in i387 emulation mode xsave is broken for (!HAVE_HWFP). This is the case if config MATH_EMULATION is enabled, 'no387' kernel parameter is set and xsave exists. xsave will not work because x86/math-emu and xsave share the same memory. As this case can be treated as corner case we simply disable xsave then. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter LKML-Reference: <1279731838-1522-7-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: H.
