Ok, here's a fix which boots fine here in qemu. Ingo, it would be cool if you gave it a run to verify. Thanks. -- >From 2263430417dd8de1a5fef4b2c40127e681fdc1ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov <b...@suse.de> Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:37:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86, FPU: Fix FPU initialization c70293d0e3fe ("x86: Get rid of ->hard_math and all the FPU asm fu") converted the FPU detection code to C. Yours truly, in his overzealousness, used static_cpu_has() too early, before alternatives have run, leading to the checks in fpu_init() to fail and fpu_init() to set CR0.EM. This, in turn, lead to an early NULL ptr due to a chicken-and-an-egg issue (full details here: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130410161122.gi6...@pd.tnic). Fix it back to the normal CPU feature checks.
