Subject: [patch 02/31] x86/fpu: Update stale comments
Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2021 02:00:00 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211011223610.404292507@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20211011215813.558681373@linutronix.de
copy_fpstate_to_sigframe() does not have a slow path anymore. Neither does
the !ia32 restore in __fpu_restore_sig().
Update the comments accordingly.
