From 2e8a3102662233dfac92fe70f56429b4050f674a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 02:28:23 +0200 Subject: x86/fpu: Rename fpu__flush_thread() to fpu__clear() The primary purpose of this function is to clear the current task's FPU before an exec(), to not leak information from the previous task, and to allow the new task to start with freshly initialized FPU registers. Rename the function to reflect this primary purpose. Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: H.
