From: Robert Richter Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:03:57 +0000 (+0200) Subject: x86, xsave: Disable xsave in i387 emulation mode X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1f999ab5a1360;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git 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.
