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 Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: H.
