The questions to ask are: 1) Is it a Linux-only thing to run FPU or SIMD code in the kernel? The answer is clearly no. 2) Is the API form tied to Linux's implementation of the FPU? I'd argue that a simple begin/end pair is not (for example, on Windows you just xsave at the beginning and xrstor at the end). So I totally agree with Andy on this. Your observation that the API only exists on x86 and s390 has no bearing to whether the functions should be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL. ARM has kernel_neon_begin/end, PPC has enable/disable_kernel_altivec. It's just that SIMD code is so arch-specific that nobody has bothered unifying the namings (or, nobody considers the different names a problem at all). Paolo
