[patch V2.1 10/20] x86/fpu/signal: Clarify exception handling in restore_fpregs_from_user()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Sep 07 2021 - 16:25:22 EST


FPU restore from a signal frame can trigger various exceptions. The
exceptions are caught with an exception table entry. The handler of this
entry stores the trap number in EAX. The FPU specific fixup negates that
trap number to convert it into an negative error code.

Any other exception than #PF is fatal and recovery is not possible. This
relies on the fact that the #PF exception number is the same as EFAULT, but
that's not really obvious.

Remove the negation from the exception fixup as it really has no value and
check for X86_TRAP_PF at the call site.

There is still confusion due to the return code conversion for the error
case which will be cleaned up separately.
