Hi -
The Go Team found a bug[1] where the AVX registers can get corrupted during signal delivery. They were able to bisect it to commits related to the "x86: load FPU registers on return to userland" patchset[2].
The bug requires the kernel to be built with GCC 9 to trigger. In particular, arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c needs to be built with GCC 9.
Thanks,
Barret
