I have identified that the issue has been fixed by the following commit
that went into kernel 4.10-rc7:
commit dffba9a31c7769be3231c420d4b364c92ba3f1ac

x86/fpu/xstate: Fix xcomp_bv in XSAVES header
The compacted-format XSAVES area is determined at boot time and
never changed after. The field xsave.header.xcomp_bv indicates
which components are in the fixed XSAVES format.
In fpstate_init() we did not set xcomp_bv to reflect the XSAVES
format since at the time there is no valid data.
However, after we do copy_init_fpstate_to_fpregs() in fpu__clear(),
as in commit:
b22cbe404a9c x86/fpu: Fix invalid FPU ptrace state after execve()
and when __fpu_restore_sig() does fpu__restore() for a COMPAT-mode
app, a #GP occurs. This can be easily triggered by doing valgrind on
a COMPAT-mode "Hello World," as reported by Joakim Tjernlund and
others:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190061
Fix it by setting xcomp_bv correctly.
This patch also moves the xcomp_bv initialization to the proper
place, which was in copyin_to_xsaves() as of:
4c833368f0bf x86/fpu: Set the xcomp_bv when we fake up a XSAVES area
which fixed the bug too, but it's more efficient and cleaner to
initialize things once per boot, not for every signal handling
operation.

This actually makes sense given that on x86 the protection keys register is
saved and restored using XSAVE.
I am therefore reassigning the bug to the kernel, and closing it given it has
been fixed a lot of time ago.
