On a math-emu bootup the following crash occurs: Initializing CPU#0 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:779! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP [...] EIP is at do_device_not_available+0xe/0x70 [...] Call Trace: [<c18238e6>] error_code+0x5a/0x60 [<c1002bd0>] ? math_error+0x140/0x140 [<c100bbd9>] ? fpu__init_cpu+0x59/0xa0 [<c1012322>] cpu_init+0x202/0x330 [<c104509f>] ? __native_set_fixmap+0x1f/0x30 [<c1b56ab0>] trap_init+0x305/0x346 [<c1b548af>] start_kernel+0x1a5/0x35d [<c1b542b4>] i386_start_kernel+0x82/0x86 The reason is that in the following commit: b1276c48e91b ("x86/fpu: Initialize fpregs in fpu__init_cpu_generic()") I failed to consider math-emu's limitation that it cannot execute the FNINIT instruction in kernel mode. The long term fix might be to allow math-emu to execute (certain) kernel mode FPU instructions, but for now apply the safe (albeit somewhat ugly) fix: initialize the emulation state explicitly without trapping out to the FPU emulator.
