Ser Olmy reported a boot failure:
init[1] bad frame in sigreturn frame:(ptrval) ip:b7c9fbe6 sp:bf933310 orax:ffffffff \
in libc-2.33.so[b7bed000+156000]

on an old 32-bit Intel CPU:
vendor_id : GenuineIntel

model name : Celeron (Mendocino)
stepping : 5
microcode : 0x3
Ser bisected the problem to the commit in Fixes.
tglx suggested reverting the rejection of invalid MXCSR values which
this commit introduced and replacing it with what the old code did -
simply masking them out to zero.
Further debugging confirmed his suggestion:
fpu->state.fxsave.mxcsr: 0xb7be13b4, mxcsr_feature_mask: 0xffbf
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c:384 __fpu_restore_sig+0x51f/0x540
so restore the original behavior only for 32-bit kernels where you have
ancient machines with buggy hardware. For 32-bit programs on 64-bit
kernels, user space which supplies wrong MXCSR values is considered
malicious so fail the sigframe restoration there.

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.
