x86/fpu: Optimize fpu__save()
So fpu__save() does this currently: copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(fpu); if (!use_eager_fpu()) fpregs_deactivate(fpu); ... which deactivates the FPU on lazy switching systems unconditionally. Both usecases of fpu__save() use this function to save the FPU state into a fpstate: fork()/clone() and math error signal handling. The unconditional disabling of FPU registers in the lazy switching case is probably a mistaken conversion of old FNSAVE code (that had to disable FPU registers). So speed up this code by only disabling FPU registers when absolutely necessary: when indicated by the copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() return code: if (!copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(fpu)) fpregs_deactivate(fpu); Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]> Cc: Dave Hansen <[email protected]> Cc: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]> Cc: H.
