From 530b37e43ce3f0bb9969308c0a64901b442f8e0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2015 08:27:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Do CLTS fpu__init_system() mxcsr_feature_mask_init() depends on TS being cleared, as it executes an FXSAVE instruction. After later changes we will move the TS setup into fpu__init_cpu(), which will interact with this - so clear the TS flag explicitly.
