Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Don't do __thread_fpu_end() if use_eager_fpu()
unlazy_fpu()->__thread_fpu_end() doesn't look right if use_eager_fpu().
Unconditional __thread_fpu_end() is only correct if we know that this
thread can't return to user-mode and use FPU.
Fortunately it has only 2 callers. fpu_copy() checks use_eager_fpu(),
and init_fpu(current) can be only called by the coredumping thread via
regset->get(). But it is exported to modules, and imo this should be
fixed anyway.
And if we check use_eager_fpu() we can use __save_fpu() like fpu_copy()
and save_init_fpu() do.
- It seems that even !use_eager_fpu() case doesn't need the unconditional
__thread_fpu_end(), we only need it if __save_init_fpu() returns 0.
- It is still not clear to me if __save_init_fpu() can safely nest with
another save + restore from __kernel_fpu_begin(). If not, we can use
kernel_fpu_disable() to fix the race.
