As I said, the commit looks broken to me. save_fsave_header() reads from
tsk->thread.fpu.state.fxsave, which due to that commit isn't being updated with
the latest registers. Am I missing something? Note the comment you deleted:
/* Update the thread's fxstate to save the fsave header. */
My test case was "run some Win32 game for a few minutes and see if it crashes"
so it's not really sharable, sorry. But I expect it would be possible to write
a minimal test case, where a 32-bit process sends a signal to itself and checks
whether the i387 floating point stuff gets restored correctly afterwards.
