This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled x86, fpu: Avoid FPU lazy restore after suspend to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From 124606b1fa23adc5a479f2ca02265af8f969820a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Palatin <vpalatin@chromium.org> Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:15:32 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86, fpu: Avoid FPU lazy restore after suspend commit 644c154186386bb1fa6446bc5e037b9ed098db46 upstream. When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost. After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context. Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU, so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware. Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off, by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.
