mainlining shenanigans
44cad52cc1
xfpregs_set() handles 32-bit REGSET_XFP and 64-bit REGSET_FP. The actual
code treats these regsets as modern FX state (i.e. the beginning part of
XSTATE). The declarations of the regsets thought they were the legacy
i387 format. The code thought they were the 32-bit (no xmm8..15) variant
of XSTATE and, for good measure, made the high bits disappear by zeroing
the wrong part of the buffer. The latter broke ptrace, and everything
else confused anyone trying to understand the code. In particular, the
nonsense definitions of the regsets confused me when I wrote this code.
Clean this all up. Change the declarations to match reality (which
shouldn't change the generated code, let alone the ABI) and fix
xfpregs_set() to clear the correct bits and to only do so for 32-bit
callers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
