[RFC PATCH 06/10] x86/fpu: Always store the registers in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Wed Sep 12 2018 - 09:36:25 EST


From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxxx>

copy_fpstate_to_sigframe() has two callers and both invoke the function only if
fpu->initialized is set. So the check in the function for ->initialized makes
no sense. It might be a relict from the lazy-FPU time: If the FPU registers
were "loaded" then we would could save them directly. Otherwise (the FPU
registers are not up to date) then they are saved in the fpu struct and those
could be used for memcpy().

Since the registers always loaded at this point, save them and copy
later.
This code is extracted from an earlier version of the patchset while
there still was lazy-FPU on x86. This is a preparation for loading the
FPU registers on return to userland.
