[PATCH 03/10] x86/fpu: Split __fpu_restore_sig to extract compat path

From: Andrei Vagin

Date: Mon Jun 15 2026 - 15:38:42 EST


Split __fpu_restore_sig to move the restore part for the legacy/compat
FPU state (when buf_f is present) to a separate helper function.

The legacy 32-bit FP frame duplicates the FP state portion of the
FX/XSAVE frame. For backward compatibility, the legacy FP frame is
treated as the source of truth, and its state is folded into the
FX/XSAVE state before restoring the registers.
