Lock the FPU regs and reload the current thread's FPU state, which holds the guest's FPU state, to the CPU registers if necessary prior to accessing guest FPU state as part of emulation. kernel_fpu_begin() can be called from softirq context, therefore KVM must ensure softirqs are disabled (locking the FPU regs disables softirqs) when touching CPU FPU state. Note, for all intents and purposes this reverts commit6ab0b9feb8("x86,kvm: remove KVM emulator get_fpu / put_fpu"), but at the time it was applied, removing get/put_fpu() was correct. The re-introduction of {get,put}_fpu() is necessitated by the deferring of FPU state load.

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 Restructured Text 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.
