The 64-bit case (both 64-bit and 32-bit frames) loads the new state from user memory. However, doing this is not desired if the FPU state is going to be restored on return to userland: it would be required to disable preemption in order to avoid a context switch which would set TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD. If this happens before the restore operation then the loaded registers would become volatile. Furthermore, disabling preemption while accessing user memory requires to disable the pagefault handler. An error during FXRSTOR would then mean that either a page fault occurred (and it would have to be retried with enabled page fault handler) or a #GP occurred because the xstate is bogus (after all, the signal handler can modify it). In order to avoid that mess, copy the FPU state from userland, validate it and then load it. The copy_kernel_…() helpers are basically just like the old helpers except that they operate on kernel memory and the fault handler just sets the error value and the caller handles it. copy_user_to_fpregs_zeroing() and its helpers remain and will be used later for a fastpath optimisation.

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.
