    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86 FPU state handling updates from Borislav Petkov:
     "This contains work started by Rik van Riel and brought to fruition by
      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior with the main goal to optimize when to load
      FPU registers: only when returning to userspace and not on every
      context switch (while the task remains in the kernel).
    
      In addition, this optimization makes kernel_fpu_begin() cheaper by
      requiring registers saving only on the first invocation and skipping
      that in following ones.
    
      What is more, this series cleans up and streamlines many aspects of
      the already complex FPU code, hopefully making it more palatable for
      future improvements and simplifications.
    
      Finally, there's a __user annotations fix from Jann Horn"
