[PATCH 07/29 v2] x86/fpu: don't export __kernel_fpu_{begin|end}()
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Thu Nov 29 2018 - 10:02:17 EST
There is one user using __kernel_fpu_begin() and before invoking it, it
invokes preempt_disable(). So it could invoke kernel_fpu_begin() right
away. The 32bit version of arch_efi_call_virt_setup() and
arch_efi_call_virt_teardown() does this already.
The comment above *kernel_fpu*() claims that before invoking
__kernel_fpu_begin() preemption should be disabled and that KVM is a
good example of doing it. Well, KVM doesn't do that since commit
f775b13eedee2 ("x86,kvm: move qemu/guest FPU switching out to vcpu_run")
so it is not an example anymore.
With EFI gone as the last user of __kernel_fpu_{begin|end}(), it can be
made static and not exported anymore.

- * Careful: __kernel_fpu_begin/end() must be called with preempt disabled
- * and they don't touch the preempt state on their own.
- * If you enable preemption after __kernel_fpu_begin(), preempt notifier
- * should call the __kernel_fpu_end() to prevent the kernel/user FPU
- * state from getting corrupted. KVM for example uses this model.
- *
- * All other cases use kernel_fpu_begin/end() which disable preemption
- * during kernel FPU usage.
+ * Use kernel_fpu_begin/end() if you intend to use FPU in kernel context. It
+ * disables preemption so be careful if you intend to use it for long periods
+ * of time.
+ * If you intend to use the FPU in softirq you need to check first with
+ * irq_fpu_usable() if it is possible.
+ * Using the FPU in hardirq is not allowed.
