hi all,
I am a little confused about the task_struct member 'used_math', and
thread_info flag TIF_USEDFPU.
What are their meaning, and what is the difference between them?
thanks.

used_math is used to indicate whether a process has ever used FPU since
it is created (which typically is true due to the glibc using FPU at the
beginning of each program).
TIF_USEDFPU indicates whether a _running_ process has used FPU since
it is context-switched on.
