[PATCH 2/4] x86/fpu: introduce restore_init_xstate()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Mar 11 2015 - 13:36:46 EST


Extract the "use_eager_fpu()" code from drop_init_fpu() into the new
simple helper, restore_init_xstate(). The next patch adds another user.

- It is not clear why we do not check use_fxsr() like fpu_restore_checking()
does. eager_fpu_init_bp() calls setup_init_fpu_buf() too, and we have the
"eagerfpu=on" kernel option.

- Ignoring the fact that init_xstate_buf is "struct xsave_struct *", not
"union thread_xstate *", it is not clear why we can not simply use
fpu_restore_checking() and avoid the code duplication.

- It is not clear why we can't call setup_init_fpu_buf() unconditionally
to always create init_xstate_buf(). Then do_device_not_available() path
(at least) could use restore_init_xstate() too. It doesn't need to init
fpu->state, its content doesn't matter until unlazy_fpu/__switch_to/etc
which overwrites this memory anyway.
