The x86 FPU code used to have a complex state machine where both the FPU registers and the FPU state context could be 'active' (or inactive) independently of each other - which enabled features like lazy FPU restore. Much of this complexity is gone in the current code: now we basically can have FPU-less tasks (kernel threads) that don't use (and save/restore) FPU state at all, plus full FPU users that save/restore directly with no laziness whatsoever. But the fpu::fpstate_active still carries bits of the old complexity - meanwhile this flag has become a simple flag that shows whether the FPU context saving area in the thread struct is initialized and used, or not. Rename it to fpu::initialized to express this simplicity in the name as well.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
