Subject: [PATCH 3/7] x86/fpu: Extract restore_from_ia32_fxstate() and clean up fpu__restore_sig()
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 23:23:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916232310.490786-4-avagin@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916232310.490786-1-avagin@google.com>
When restoring an FPU signal frame for a 32-bit or IA32-compat task on
FXSR-enabled systems, a legacy 32-bit FP frame is present alongside the
FX/XSAVE frame. Because the legacy FP frame duplicates the FP state
portion of the FX/XSAVE frame, for backward compatibility it is treated
as the source of truth, and its state is folded into the FX/XSAVE state
before restoring the registers.
Currently, most of __fpu_restore_sig() is dedicated to handling this
32-bit legacy/compat fpstate, while the native direct restore path lives
in restore_fpregs_from_user(). Having the compat handling intermixed
with the main signal restoration flow makes it tricky to quickly see
what code is 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().
