The init task is started with thread_flags equal to 0, which means
that TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is initially clear.
It is theoretically possible (if unlikely) that the init task could
reach userspace without ever being scheduled out. If this occurs,
data left in the FPSIMD registers by the kernel could be exposed.
This patch fixes this anomaly by ensuring that the init task's
initial TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is set.

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.
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.
