In commit 9d73fc2d641f ("open*(2) compat fixes (s390, arm64)") I said:
&gt;
&gt; 	The usual rules for open()/openat()/open_by_handle_at() are
&gt; 1) native 32bit - don't force O_LARGEFILE in flags
&gt; 2) native 64bit - force O_LARGEFILE in flags
&gt; 3) compat on 64bit host - as for native 32bit
&gt; 4) native 32bit ABI for 64bit system (mips/n32, x86/x32) - as for native 64bit
&gt;
&gt; There are only two exceptions - s390 compat has open() forcing O_LARGEFILE and
&gt; arm64 compat has open_by_handle_at() doing the same thing.  The same binaries
&gt; on native host (s390/31 and arm resp.) will *not* force O_LARGEFILE, so IMO
&gt; both are emulation bugs.

Three exceptions, actually - parisc open() is another case like that.
Native 32bit won't force O_LARGEFILE, the same binary on parisc64 will.

When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost.
After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running
on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context.

Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU,
so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware.

Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,
by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU
operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a
few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.
