Subject: [PATCH 3.14 031/203] x86, fpu: __restore_xstate_sig()->math_state_restore() needs preempt_disable()

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

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

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

commit df24fb859a4e200d9324e2974229fbb7adf00aef upstream.

Add preempt_disable() + preempt_enable() around math_state_restore() in
__restore_xstate_sig(). Otherwise __switch_to() after __thread_fpu_begin()
can overwrite fpu->state we are going to restore.
