Make init_xstate_buf allocated statically at build time. This structure's maximum size is around 1KB - and it's allocated even on most modern embedded x86 CPUs which strive for FPU instruction set parity with desktop and server CPUs, so it's not like we can save much on smaller systems. This removes the last bootmem allocation from the FPU init path, allowing it to be called earlier in the boot sequence. Reviewed-by:

Remove the dependency on the init_xstate_buf == NULL check to implement once-per-bootup logic in eager_fpu_init(), by making setup_init_fpu_buf() run once per bootup explicitly. This is in preparation to make init_xstate_buf statically allocated. The various boot-once quirks in the FPU init code will be removed in a later cleanup stage. Reviewed-by:

There's only 8 xstate bits at the moment, and it's not like we can support unknown bits - so put xstate_offsets[] and xstate_sizes[] into static allocation. This is in preparation to be able to call the FPU init code earlier, when there's no bootmem available yet. Reviewed-by:

fpstate_xstate_init_size() is called in fpu__cpu_init(), which is run on every CPU, every time they are brought online. But we want to call fpstate_xstate_init_size() only once. Move it to fpu__detect(), which only runs once, on the boot CPU. Also clean up the flow of fpstate_xstate_init_size() a bit, by removing a 'return' from the middle of the function. Reviewed-by:

So the current code uses fpu->has_cpu to determine whether a given user FPU context is actively loaded into the FPU's registers [*] and that those registers represent the task's current FPU state. But this term is not unambiguous: especially the distinction between fpu->has_fpu, PF_USED_MATH and fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx is not clear. Increase clarity by unambigously signalling that it's about hardware registers being active right now, by renaming it to fpu->fpregs_active. ( In later patches we'll use more of the 'fpregs' naming, which will make it easier to grep for as well. ) [*] There's the kernel_fpu_begin()/end() primitive that also activates FPU hw registers as well and uses them, without touching the fpu->fpregs_active flag.

The code has the following problems: - it uses a single global 'fx_scratch' area that multiple CPUs could write into simultaneously, in theory. - it wastes 512 bytes of .data for something that is only rarely used. Fix this by moving the state buffer to the stack. Note that while this is 512 bytes, we don't ever call this function in very deep callchains, so its stack usage should not be a problem. Also add comments to explain the magic 0x0000ffbf default value. Reviewed-by:

'xsave.header::xstate_bv' is a misnomer - what does 'bv' stand for? It probably comes from the 'XGETBV' instruction name, but I could not find in the Intel documentation where that abbreviation comes from. It could mean 'bit vector' - or something else? But how about - instead of guessing about a weird name - we named the field in an obvious and descriptive way that tells us exactly what it does? So rename it to 'xfeatures', which is a bitmask of the xfeatures that are fpstate_active in that context structure. Eyesore like: fpu->state->xsave.xsave_hdr.xstate_bv |= XSTATE_FP; is now much more readable: fpu->state->xsave.header.xfeatures |= XSTATE_FP; Which form is not just infinitely more readable, but is also shorter as well.

Code like: fpu->state->xsave.xsave_hdr.xstate_bv |= XSTATE_FP; is an eyesore, because not only is the words 'xsave' and 'state' are repeated twice times (!), but also because of the 'hdr' and 'bv' abbreviations that are pretty meaningless at a first glance. Start cleaning this up by renaming 'xsave_hdr' to 'header'. Reviewed-by: -

The name 'xstate_features' does not tell us whether it's a bitmap or any other value. That it's a count of features is only obvious if you read the code that calculates it. Rename it to the more descriptive 'xfeatures_nr' name. Reviewed-by:

So this code surprised me - and being surprised when reading FPU code does not help maintainability of an already overly complex subsystem. Remove the obfuscation and just don't use __init annotation for now. Anyone who wants to free these ~600 bytes of xstate_enable_boot_cpu() should implement it cleanly. Reviewed-by:

This unifies all the FPU related header files under a unified, hiearchical naming scheme: - asm/fpu/types.h: FPU related data types, needed for 'struct task_struct', widely included in almost all kernel code, and hence kept as small as possible. - asm/fpu/api.h: FPU related 'public' methods exported to other subsystems. - asm/fpu/internal.h: FPU subsystem internal methods - asm/fpu/xsave.h: XSAVE support internal methods (Also standardize the header guard in asm/fpu/internal.h.)

The primary purpose of this function is to clear the current task's FPU before an exec(), to not leak information from the previous task, and to allow the new task to start with freshly initialized FPU registers. Rename the function to reflect this primary purpose. Reviewed-by:
