[PATCH v2 2/5] x86/fpu: Fix FNSAVE usage in eagerfpu mode

Show all headers | View raw

In eager fpu mode, having deactivated fpu without immediately
reloading some other context is illegal.  Therefore, to recover from
FNSAVE, we can't just deactivate the state -- we need to reload it
if we're not actively context switching.

We had this wrong in fpu__save and fpu__copy.  Fix both.
__kernel_fpu_begin was fine -- add a comment.

This fixes a warning triggerable with nofxsr eagerfpu=on.
