Make sure the WARN_ON_FPU() macro consumes the macro argument,
to avoid 'unused variable' build warnings if the only use of
a variable is in debugging code.

copy_kernel_to_xregs_booting() has a second parameter that is the mask
of xfeatures that should be copied - but this parameter is always -1.

Simplify the call site of this function, this also makes it more
similar to the function call signature of other copy_kernel_to*regs()
functions.

<content type='text'>
Bring the __copy_fpstate_to_fpregs() and copy_fpstate_to_fpregs() functions
in line with the parameter passing convention of other kernel-to-FPU-registers
copying functions: pass around an in-memory FPU register state pointer,
instead of struct fpu *.

NOTE: This patch also changes the assembly constraint of the FXSAVE-leak
      workaround from 'fpu-&gt;fpregs_active' to 'fpstate' - but that is fine,
      as we only need a valid memory address there for the FILDL instruction.

None of the copy_kernel_to_*regs() FPU register copying functions are
supposed to fail, and all of them have debugging checks that enforce
this.

Remove their return values and simplify their call sites, which have
redundant error checks and error handling code paths.

Copying from in-kernel FPU context buffers to FPU registers are
never supposed to fault.

Add debugging checks to copy_kernel_to_fxregs() and copy_kernel_to_fregs()
to double check this assumption.

Remaining users of fpu__activate_fpstate() are all places that want to modify
FPU registers, rename the function to fpu__activate_fpstate_write() according
to this usage.

<title>x86/fpu: Split out the fpu__activate_fpstate_read() method</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently fpu__activate_fpstate() is used for two distinct purposes:

  - read access by ptrace and core dumping, where in the core dumping
    case the current task's FPU state may be examined as well.

  - write access by ptrace, which modifies FPU registers and expects
    the modified registers to be reloaded on the next context switch.

Split out the reading side into fpu__activate_fpstate_read().

( Note that this is just a pure duplication of fpu__activate_fpstate()
  for the time being, we'll optimize the new function in the next patch. )

Bobby Powers reported the following FPU warning during ELF coredumping:

   WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27452 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/core.c:324 fpu__activate_stopped+0x8a/0xa0()

This warning unearthed an invalid assumption about fpu__activate_stopped()
that I added in:

  67e97fc2ec57 ("x86/fpu: Rename init_fpu() to fpu__unlazy_stopped() and add debugging check")

the old init_fpu() function had an (intentional but obscure) side effect:
when FPU registers are accessed for the current task, for reading, then
it synchronized live in-register FPU state with the fpstate by saving it.

So fix this bug by saving the FPU if we are the current task. We'll
still warn in fpu__save() if this is called for not yet stopped
child tasks, so the debugging check is still preserved.

Also rename the function to fpu__activate_fpstate(), because it's not
exclusively used for stopped tasks, but for the current task as well.

( Note that this bug calls for a cleaner separation of access-for-read
  and access-for-modification FPU methods, but we'll do that in separate
  patches. )

<title>x86/fpu: Micro-optimize the copy_xregs_to_kernel*() and copy_kernel_to_xregs*() functions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8c05f05edb7795ecd1fa95d5d44bc5b22fd85287</id>
<content type='text'>
The copy_xregs_to_kernel*() and copy_kernel_to_xregs*() functions are used
to copy FPU registers to kernel memory and vice versa.

They are never expected to fail, yet they have a return code, mostly because
that way they can share the assembly macros with the copy*user*() functions.

This error code is then silently ignored by the context switching
and other code - which made the bug in:

  b8c1b8ea7b21 ("x86/fpu: Fix FPU state save area alignment bug")

harder to fix than necessary.

So remove the return values and check for no faults when FPU debugging
is enabled in the .config.

This improves the eagerfpu context switching fast path by a couple of
instructions, when FPU debugging is disabled:

   ffffffff810407fa:      89 c2                   mov    %eax,%edx
   ffffffff810407fc:      48 0f ae 2f             xrstor64 (%rdi)
   ffffffff81040800:      31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
  -ffffffff81040802:      eb 0a                   jmp    ffffffff8104080e &lt;__switch_to+0x321&gt;

   ffffffff81040804:      31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
   ffffffff81040806:      48 0f ae 8b c0 05 00    fxrstor64 0x5c0(%rbx)
