[PATCH 3/4] x86/fpu: Disable MPX when eagerfpu is off

Show all headers | View raw

This issue is a fallout from the command-line parsing move.

When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel should
disable MPX support. The decision for turning off MPX was made in
fpu__init_system_ctx_switch(), which is after the selection of the XSAVE
format. This patch fixes it by getting that decision done earlier in
fpu__init_system_xstate().
