This is a preparation for the removal of the ->initialized member in the fpu struct. __fpu__restore_sig() is deactivating the FPU via fpu__drop() and then setting manually ->initialized followed by fpu__restore(). The result is that it is possible to manipulate fpu->state and the state of registers won't be saved/restored on a context switch which would overwrite fpu->state: fpu__drop(fpu): ... fpu->initialized = 0; preempt_enable(); <--- context switch Don't access the fpu->state while the content is read from user space and examined/sanitized. Use a temporary kmalloc() buffer for the preparation of the FPU registers and once the state is considered okay, load it. Should something go wrong, return with an error and without altering the original FPU registers. The removal of fpu__initialize() is a nop because fpu->initialized is already set for the user task.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
