[-- Attachment #1: fpu_code_cleanup.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4241 bytes --]

[Upstream commit: b30f3ae50cd03ef2ff433a5030fbf88dd8323528]

Suresh Siddha wants to fix a possible FPU leakage in error conditions,
but the fact that save/restore_i387() are inlines in a header file makes
that harder to do than necessary.  So start off with an obvious cleanup.

This just moves the x86-64 version of save/restore_i387() out of the
header file, and moves it to the only file that it is actually used in:
arch/x86/kernel/signal_64.c.  So exposing it in a header file was wrong
to begin with.

[ Side note: I'd like to fix up some of the games we play with the
  32-bit version of these functions too, but that's a separate
  matter.  The 32-bit versions are shared - under different names
  at that! - by both the native x86-32 code and the x86-64 32-bit
  compatibility code ]
