A recent discussion [1] about hardware poisoning unearthed some short
comings in the error handling of the sigframe related FPU code:

  - The error exit for exceptions other than #PF is obfuscated

  - The error code return values of the various functions are pointless
    because all callers just care about success or failure and the error
    codes are never propagated to user space.

  - Some of the buffer clearing happens needlessly inside of page fault
    disabled regions.

  - The MCE aware exception fixup is inconsistent and confusing especially
    in copy_mc_64.c. It uses a fixup function which stores the trap number
    in regs->ax just to overwrite regs->ax at the callsite specific fixup.

The following series cleans this up. The resulting excecutable code is
slightly smaller with that.

It's also available in git:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git x86/fpu

Changes vs. V2 [2]:

  - Fix the bogus left over check for #PF which causes boot failures

Thanks,

	tglx
