Module Name:    src
Committed By:   maxv

Modified Files:
        src/sys/arch/amd64/amd64: locore.S
        src/sys/arch/x86/include: cpu.h fpu.h
        src/sys/arch/x86/x86: fpu.c x86_machdep.c

Log Message:
Add some code to support eager fpu switch, INTEL-SA-00145. We restore the
FPU state of the lwp right away during context switches. This guarantees
that when the CPU executes in userland, the FPU doesn't contain secrets.

Maybe we also need to clear the FPU in setregs(), not sure about this one.

Can be enabled/disabled via:

        machdep.fpu_eager = {0/1}

Not yet turned on automatically on affected CPUs (Intel Family 6).

More generally it would be good to turn it on automatically when XSAVEOPT
is supported, because in this case there is probably a non-negligible
performance gain; but we need to fix PR/52966.
