fpu: save each process's x87/SSE registers; keep the kernel off them
Nothing ever saved the FPU and SSE registers on a context switch. musl's memcpy, the compiler's struct copies and any arithmetic on doubles keep live values in %xmm, so two processes sharing a CPU wrote over each other's: two shells counting in a loop on one processor took a NULL+8 page fault within seconds, at a different rip every time. It reproduces on kernels from before this week too -- it had always been there, and every crash nobody could explain was a candidate. sched() now fxsaves the process leaving the CPU and scheduler() fxrstors the one arriving. A new process starts from the ABI's state (FCW 0x37F, MXCSR 0x1F80), fork copies the parent's live registers, exec resets them, and a signal handler's are put back by rt_sigreturn so the interrupted code finds what it had. The kernel was free to use %xmm too -- GCC vectorised struct copies and memset into 153 instructions of it -- so an interrupt could clobber the registers of the program it interrupted with no switch at all. Kernel, lwIP and uACPI objects are built -mgeneral-regs-only now and the image has none; cmd/ keeps SSE. Checked under QEMU: three concurrent loops three times over, on 1 CPU and on 4, no faults; before, every run faulted.
