Subject: [PATCH 1/2] i387: uninline the generic FP helpers that we expose to
kernel modules
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] i387: uninline the generic FP helpers that we expose to kernel modules
Instead of exporting the very low-level internals of the FPU state
save/restore code (ie things like 'fpu_owner_task'), we should export
the higher-level interfaces.
Inlining these things is pointless anyway: sure, sometimes the end
result is small, but while 'stts()' can result in just three x86
instructions, those are not cheap instructions (writing %cr0 is a
serializing instruction and a very slow one at that).
So the overhead of a function call is not noticeable, and we really
don't want random modules mucking about with our internal state save
logic anyway.
So this unexports 'fpu_owner_task', and instead uninlines and exports
the actual functions that modules can use: fpu_kernel_begin/end() and
unlazy_fpu().
Acked-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@...or.com>

This is the same patch I already sent out earlier, now with a commit
message and Peter's ack added.
