Subject: [PATCH 3.10 122/129] arm64: fix possible invalid FPSIMD initialization state

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@...wei.com>

commit 6db83cea1c975b9a102e17def7d2795814e1ae2b upstream.

If context switching happens during executing fpsimd_flush_thread(),
stale value in FPSIMD registers will be saved into current thread's
fpsimd_state by fpsimd_thread_switch(). That may cause invalid
initialization state for the new process, so disable preemption
when executing fpsimd_flush_thread().
