With lazy-FPU support the (now named variable) ->initialized was set to
true if the CPU's FPU registers were holding a valid state of the
FPU registers for the active process. If it was set to false then the
FPU state was saved in fpu->state and the FPU was deactivated.
With lazy-FPU gone, ->initialized is always true for user threads and
kernel threads never call this function so ->initialized is always true
in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe().
The using_compacted_format() check is also a leftover from the lazy-FPU
time. In the
->initialized == false
case copy_to_user() would copy the compacted buffer while userland would
expect the non-compacted format instead. So in order to save the FPU
state in the non-compacted form it issues XSAVE to save the *current*
FPU state.
If the FPU is not enabled, the attempt raises the FPU trap, the trap
restores the FPU contents and re-enables the FPU and XSAVE is invoked
again and succeeds.
*This* does not longer work since commit
bef8b6da95 ("x86/fpu: Handle #NM without FPU emulation as an error")
Remove the check for ->initialized because it is always true and remove
the false condition. Update the comment to reflect that the state is
always live.
