Subject: [PATCH 13/29] x86/fpu: Don't save fxregs for ia32 frames in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2018 23:20:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181128222035.2996-14-bigeasy@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181128222035.2996-1-bigeasy@linutronix.de>
Why does copy_fpstate_to_sigframe() do copy_fxregs_to_kernel() in the
ia32_fxstate case? I don't know. It just does.
Maybe it was required at some point, maybe it was added by accident and
nobody noticed it because it makes no difference.
In copy_fpstate_to_sigframe() we stash the FPU state into the task's
stackframe. Then the CPU's FPU registers (and its fpu->state) are
cleared (handle_signal() does fpu__clear()). So it makes *no* difference
what happens to fpu->state after copy_fpregs_to_sigframe().
Remove copy_fxregs_to_kernel() since it does not matter what it does and
save a few cycles.
