Subject: [PATCH RFC 3/3] x86/fpu: defer FPU state load until return to userspace
From: Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>
Defer loading of FPU state until return to userspace. This gives
the kernel the potential to skip loading FPU state for tasks that
stay in kernel mode, or for tasks that end up with repeated
invocations of kernel_fpu_begin.
It also increases the chances that a task's FPU state will remain
valid in the FPU registers until it is scheduled back in, allowing
us to skip restoring that task's FPU state altogether.
This also prepares the ground work for not having to restore
qemu userspace FPU state in KVM VCPU threads, when merely returning
to the host kernel because the guest went idle, or is running a
kernel thread. That functionality will come in a later patch.
Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>
