      x86/fpu: Revert ("x86/fpu: Disable AVX when eagerfpu is off") · a65050c6
      Yu-cheng Yu authored
      Leonid Shatz noticed that the SDM interpretation of the following
      recent commit:
      
        394db20c ("x86/fpu: Disable AVX when eagerfpu is off")
      
      ... is incorrect and that the original behavior of the FPU code was correct.
      
      Because AVX is not stated in CR0 TS bit description, it was mistakenly
      believed to be not supported for lazy context switch. This turns out
      to be false:
      
        Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 3A, Sec. 2.5 Control Registers:
      
         'TS Task Switched bit (bit 3 of CR0) -- Allows the saving of the x87 FPU/
          MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 context on a task switch to be delayed until
          an x87 FPU/MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 instruction is actually executed
          by the new task.'
      
        Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 2A, Sec. 2.4 Instruction Exception
        Specification:
      
         'AVX instructions refer to exceptions by classes that include #NM
          "Device Not Available" exception for lazy context switch.'
      
      So revert the commit.

      x86/fpu: Fix 'no387' regression · f363938c
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      After fixing FPU option parsing, we now parse the 'no387' boot option
      too early: no387 clears X86_FEATURE_FPU before it's even probed, so
      the boot CPU promptly re-enables it.
      
      I suspect it gets even more confused on SMP.
      
      Fix the probing code to leave X86_FEATURE_FPU off if it's been
      disabled by setup_clear_cpu_cap().
