Subject: [PATCH 3/7] x86/fpu: Extract restore_from_ia32_fxstate() and clean up fpu__restore_sig()
Date: Tue,  8 Sep 2026 04:34:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908043427.1842515-4-avagin@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908043427.1842515-1-avagin@google.com>

Improve readability of the signal frame restoration code. Previously,
most of __fpu_restore_sig() was dedicated to handling the 32-bit compat
fpstate, while the native direct path lived in restore_fpregs_from_user().
Having the compat handling intermixed with the main flow made it tricky
to quickly see what code was doing what.

Extract the 32-bit legacy/compat FPU restore handling into a separate
helper function, restore_from_ia32_fxstate(), and inline the remainder
of __fpu_restore_sig() directly into fpu__restore_sig().

The legacy 32-bit FP frame duplicates the FP state portion of the
FX/XSAVE frame. For backward compatibility, the legacy FP frame is
treated as the source of truth, and its state is folded into the
FX/XSAVE state before restoring the registers.
