Subject: x86/fpu: Rename fpu_save_init() to copy_fpregs_to_fpstate()
X-Git-Tag: omap-for-v4.2/fixes-rc1^2~174^2~120
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4f83634710a1a7024b8acaa3b589dc5d8ca03ab0;p=pandora-kernel.git

x86/fpu: Rename fpu_save_init() to copy_fpregs_to_fpstate()

So fpu_save_init() is a historic name that got its name when the only
way the FPU state was FNSAVE, which cleared (well, destroyed) the FPU
state after saving it.

Nowadays the name is misleading, because ever since the introduction of
FXSAVE (and more modern FPU saving instructions) the 'we need to reload
the FPU state' part is only true if there's a pending FPU exception [*],
which is almost never the case.

So rename it to copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() to make it clear what's
happening. Also add a few comments about why we cannot keep registers
in certain cases.

Also clean up the control flow a bit, to make it more apparent when
we are dropping/keeping FP registers, and to optimize the common
case (of keeping fpregs) some more.

[*] Probably not true anymore, modern instructions always leave the FPU
    state intact, even if exceptions are pending: because pending FP
    exceptions are posted on the next FP instruction, not asynchronously.

    They were truly asynchronous back in the IRQ13 case, and we had to
    synchronize with them, but that code is not working anymore: we don't
    have IRQ13 mapped in the IDT anymore.

    But a cleanup patch is obviously not the place to change subtle behavior.
