    x86/fpu: Split out the fpu__activate_fpstate_read() method · 05602812
    Ingo Molnar authored
    Currently fpu__activate_fpstate() is used for two distinct purposes:
    
      - read access by ptrace and core dumping, where in the core dumping
        case the current task's FPU state may be examined as well.
    
      - write access by ptrace, which modifies FPU registers and expects
        the modified registers to be reloaded on the next context switch.
    
    Split out the reading side into fpu__activate_fpstate_read().
    
    ( Note that this is just a pure duplication of fpu__activate_fpstate()
      for the time being, we'll optimize the new function in the next patch. )
