When switching from userspace to the kernel, all registers including the FP registers are copied into the kernel and restored later on. As such, the true source for the FP register state is actually already in the kernel and they should never be grabbed from the userspace process. Change the various places to simply copy the data from the internal FP register storage area. Note that on i386 the format of PTRACE_GETFPREGS and PTRACE_GETFPXREGS is different enough that conversion would be needed. With this patch, -EINVAL is returned if the non-native format is requested. The upside is, that this patchset fixes setting registers via ptrace (which simply did not work before) as well as fixing setting floating point registers using the mcontext on signal return on i386.

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.
