Siarhei Liakh ab693cc665 x86: Call fixup_exception() before notify_die() in math_error()
commit 3ae6295ccb upstream.

fpu__drop() has an explicit fwait which under some conditions can trigger a
fixable FPU exception while in kernel. Thus, we should attempt to fixup the
exception first, and only call notify_die() if the fixup failed just like
in do_general_protection(). The original call sequence incorrectly triggers
KDB entry on debug kernels under particular FPU-intensive workloads.

Andy noted, that this makes the whole conditional irq enable thing even
more inconsistent, but fixing that it outside the scope of this.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
