+Subject: x86/fpu: Don't export __kernel_fpu_{begin,end}()
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

+From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
+
+commit 12209993e98c5fa1855c467f22a24e3d5b8be205 upstream.
+
+There is one user of __kernel_fpu_begin() and before invoking it,
+it invokes preempt_disable(). So it could invoke kernel_fpu_begin()
+right away. The 32bit version of arch_efi_call_virt_setup() and
+arch_efi_call_virt_teardown() does this already.
+
+The comment above *kernel_fpu*() claims that before invoking
+__kernel_fpu_begin() preemption should be disabled and that KVM is a
+good example of doing it. Well, KVM doesn't do that since commit
+
+  f775b13eedee2 ("x86,kvm: move qemu/guest FPU switching out to vcpu_run")
+
+so it is not an example anymore.
+
+With EFI gone as the last user of __kernel_fpu_{begin|end}(), both can
+be made static and not exported anymore.
