[patch 00/10] x86/fpu: Clean up error handling in sigframe related code

[Thomas Gleixner]

A recent discussion [1] about hardware poisoning unearthed some short
comings in the error handling of the sigframe related FPU code:

  - The error exit for exceptions other than #PF is obfuscated

  - The error code return values of the various functions are pointless
    because all callers just care about success or failure and the error
    codes are never propagated to user space.

  - Some of the buffer clearing happens needlessly inside of page fault
    disabled regions.

The following series cleans this up. As a side effect the resulting text
size of fpu/signal.o shrinks by about 150 bytes.

It's also available in git:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git x86/fpu

Thanks,
