For the upcoming AMX support it's necessary to do a proper integration with KVM. Currently KVM allocates two FPU structs which are used for saving the user state of the vCPU thread and restoring the guest state when entering vcpu_run() and doing the reverse operation before leaving vcpu_run(). With the new fpstate mechanism this can be reduced to one extra buffer by swapping the fpstate pointer in current:🧵:fpu. This makes the upcoming support for AMX and XFD simpler because then fpstate information (features, sizes, xfd) are always consistent and it does not require any nasty workarounds. Provide: - An allocator which initializes the state properly - A replacement for the existing FPU swap mechanim Aside of the reduced memory footprint, this also makes state switching more efficient when TIF_FPU_NEED_LOAD is set. It does not require a memcpy as the state is already correct in the to be swapped out fpstate. The existing interfaces will be removed once KVM is converted over.

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.
