Improve the comments and add new ones, as this code isn't very obvious. Reviewed-by:

The previous explanation was rather cryptic. Also transform "u32 [64]" to the more readable "u8[256]" form. No change in implementation. Reviewed-by:

Rename regset accessors to prefix them with 'regset_', because we want to start using the 'fpregs_active' name elsewhere. Reviewed-by:

The code has the following problems: - it uses a single global 'fx_scratch' area that multiple CPUs could write into simultaneously, in theory. - it wastes 512 bytes of .data for something that is only rarely used. Fix this by moving the state buffer to the stack. Note that while this is 512 bytes, we don't ever call this function in very deep callchains, so its stack usage should not be a problem. Also add comments to explain the magic 0x0000ffbf default value. Reviewed-by:

'xsave.header::xstate_bv' is a misnomer - what does 'bv' stand for? It probably comes from the 'XGETBV' instruction name, but I could not find in the Intel documentation where that abbreviation comes from. It could mean 'bit vector' - or something else? But how about - instead of guessing about a weird name - we named the field in an obvious and descriptive way that tells us exactly what it does? So rename it to 'xfeatures', which is a bitmask of the xfeatures that are fpstate_active in that context structure. Eyesore like: fpu->state->xsave.xsave_hdr.xstate_bv |= XSTATE_FP; is now much more readable: fpu->state->xsave.header.xfeatures |= XSTATE_FP; Which form is not just infinitely more readable, but is also shorter as well.

Code like: fpu->state->xsave.xsave_hdr.xstate_bv |= XSTATE_FP; is an eyesore, because not only is the words 'xsave' and 'state' are repeated twice times (!), but also because of the 'hdr' and 'bv' abbreviations that are pretty meaningless at a first glance. Start cleaning this up by renaming 'xsave_hdr' to 'header'. Reviewed-by: -

The suspend code accesses FPU state internals, add a helper for it and isolate it. Reviewed-by:

The name 'xstate_features' does not tell us whether it's a bitmap or any other value. That it's a count of features is only obvious if you read the code that calculates it. Rename it to the more descriptive 'xfeatures_nr' name. Reviewed-by:

So the 'pcntxt_mask' is a misnomer, it's essentially meaningless to anyone who doesn't know what it does exactly. Name it more descriptively as 'xfeatures_mask'. Reviewed-by:

Standardize the various boot time messages printed during FPU detection: - Use a common 'x86/fpu: ' prefix for consistency and to make it easy to grep boot logs for FPU related messages - Correct speling errors - Add printout for the legacy FPU case as well - Clarify messages Reviewed-by:

asm/fpu/api.h does not contain any defines useful to assembly code, and no assembly code includes asm/fpu/api.h. Remove the historic #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ leftover guard. Reviewed-by:

So this code surprised me - and being surprised when reading FPU code does not help maintainability of an already overly complex subsystem. Remove the obfuscation and just don't use __init annotation for now. Anyone who wants to free these ~600 bytes of xstate_enable_boot_cpu() should implement it cleanly. Reviewed-by:

fpu/types.h gets included everywhere, move the MXCSR_DEFAULT to fpu/internal.h, the place where it's used. Reviewed-by:

Ingo Molnar authored
This unifies all the FPU related header files under a unified, hiearchical naming scheme: - asm/fpu/types.h: FPU related data types, needed for 'struct task_struct', widely included in almost all kernel code, and hence kept as small as possible. - asm/fpu/api.h: FPU related 'public' methods exported to other subsystems. - asm/fpu/internal.h: FPU subsystem internal methods - asm/fpu/xsave.h: XSAVE support internal methods (Also standardize the header guard in asm/fpu/internal.h.)

We already have fpu/types.h, move i387.h to fpu/api.h. The file name has become a misnomer anyway: it offers generic FPU APIs, but is not limited to i387 functionality. Reviewed-by:

The primary purpose of this function is to clear the current task's FPU before an exec(), to not leak information from the previous task, and to allow the new task to start with freshly initialized FPU registers. Rename the function to reflect this primary purpose. Reviewed-by:

Also rename it to fpu_want_lazy_restore(), to better indicate that this function just tests whether we can do a lazy restore. (The old name suggested that it was doing the lazy restore, which is not the case.) Reviewed-by:

Ingo Molnar authored
Replace task_disable_lazy_fpu_restore() with easier to read open-coded uses: we already update the fpu->last_cpu field explicitly in other cases. (This also removes yet another task_struct using FPU method.) Better explain the fpu::last_cpu field in the structure definition. Reviewed-by:

Ingo Molnar authored
Introduce a simple fpu->fpstate_active flag in the fpu context data structure and use that instead of PF_USED_MATH in task->flags. Testing for this flag byte should be slightly more efficient than testing a bit in a bitmask, but the main advantage is that most FPU functions can now be performed on a 'struct fpu' alone, they don't need access to 'struct task_struct' anymore. There's a slight linecount increase, mostly due to the 'fpu' local variables and due to extra comments. The local variables will go away once we move most of the FPU methods to pure 'struct fpu' parameters. Reviewed-by:
