[PATCH 2/2] x86/fpu: factor out memset(xstate, 0) in fpu_finit() paths

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon Mar 02 2015 - 13:34:59 EST


fx_finit() has 2 users but only fpu_finit() needs to nullify xstate,
alloc_bootmem_align() in setup_init_fpu_buf() returns zero-filled
memory.

And note that both memset()'s look confusing. Yes, offsetof() is 0
for ->fxsave or ->fsave, but it would be more clean to turn them into
a single memset() which nullifies fpu->state.
