Subject: [PATCH tip/x86/fpu 1/6] x86/fpu: simplify the switch_fpu_prepare() + switch_fpu_finish() logic
Date: Sat, 3 May 2025 16:38:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250503143830.GA8982@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250409211127.3544993-1-mingo@kernel.org>

Now that switch_fpu_finish() doesn't load the FPU state, it makes more
sense to fold it into switch_fpu_prepare() renamed to switch_fpu(), and
more importantly, use the "prev_p" task as a target for TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD.
It doesn't make any sense to delay set_tsk_thread_flag(TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD)
until "prev_p" is scheduled again.

There is no worry about the very first context switch, fpu_clone() must
always set TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD.

Also, shift the test_tsk_thread_flag(TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD) from the callers
to switch_fpu().

Note that the "PF_KTHREAD | PF_USER_WORKER" check can be removed but
this deserves a separate patch which can change more functions, say,
kernel_fpu_begin_mask().
