- FPU context is stored only if conflict between 2 FPU users or while exporting context of a process to userspace while it is the active user of FPU - FPU has its owner (fpu_owner) which points to the process whose state is currently loaded in FPU - the FPU exception is only turned on when scheduling a process which is not the owner of FPU - FPU state is restored for the process that generated the FPU exception. This process runs immediately without letting scheduler to pick a new process to resolve the FPU conflict asap, to minimize the FPU thrashing and FPU exception hadler execution - faster all non-FPU-exception kernel entries as FPU state is not checked nor saved - removed MF_USED_FPU flag, only MF_FPU_INITIALIZED remains to signal that a process has used FPU in the past |
