Bug Description
It was observed that starting certain apps (xterm, amdcccle) crash the xserver on Skylake. Rough bisect showed that 4.1-rc6 was ok while rc5 wasn't, and git bisect found the fixing commit:
commit 061cc3ab4c7b8ed
Author: Ingo Molnar <email address hidden>
Date: Wed May 20 11:45:30 2015 +0200
x86/fpu: Disable XSAVES* support for now
while it's also cc'd to stable@, it's needed in the vivid kernel now to make the (backport) kernel deadline for 14.04.3.
