Benjamin Berg 92ce1ccbad x86/fpu: Avoid copying dynamic FP state from init_task in arch_dup_task_struct() 
[ Upstream commit 5d3b81d4d8 ]

The init_task instance of struct task_struct is statically allocated and
may not contain the full FP state for userspace. As such, limit the copy
to the valid area of both init_task and 'dst' and ensure all memory is
initialized.

Note that the FP state is only needed for userspace, and as such it is
entirely reasonable for init_task to not contain parts of it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
