Pull x86 fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A fix and an email address update:

   - Prevent FPU state corruption.

     The condition in irq_fpu_usable() grants FPU usage when the FPU is
     not used in the kernel. That's just wrong as it does not take the
     fpregs_lock()'ed regions into account. If FPU usage happens within
     such a region from interrupt context, then the FPU state gets
     corrupted.

     That's a long standing bug, which got unearthed by the recent
     changes to the random code.

   - Josh wants to use his kernel.org email address"

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.
