Jan Kara and Thomas Gleixner reported boot crashes in the FPU code: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81048a6c>] [<ffffffff81048a6c>] mxcsr_feature_mask_init+0x1c/0x40 2b:* 0f ae 85 00 fe ff ff fxsave -0x200(%rbp) and bisected it down to the following FPU commit: 91a8c2a5b43f ("x86/fpu: Clean up and fix MXCSR handling") The reason is that the on-stack FPU registers state variable, used by the FXSAVE instruction, did not have the required minimum alignment of 16 bytes, causing the general protection fault. This is most likely a GCC bug in older GCC versions, but the offending commit also added a bogus extra 32-byte alignment (which GCC ignored too). So fix this bug by making the variable static again, but also mark it __initdata this time, because fpu__init_system_mxcsr() is now an __init function.
