init_task's FPU state initialization was a bit of a hack: __x86_init_fpu_begin = .; . = __x86_init_fpu_begin + 128*PAGE_SIZE; __x86_init_fpu_end = .; But the init task isn't supposed to be using the FPU context in any case, so remove the hack and add in some debug warnings. As Linus noted in the discussion, the init task (and other PF_KTHREAD tasks) *can* use the FPU via kernel_fpu_begin()/_end(), but they don't need the context area because their FPU use is not preemptible or reentrant, and they don't return to user-space.

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 reStructuredText 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.
