We need to disable interrupts in load_fpu_regs(). Otherwise an interrupt might come in after the registers are loaded, but before CIF_FPU is cleared in load_fpu_regs(). When the interrupt returns, CIF_FPU will be cleared and the registers will never be restored. The entry.S code usually saves the interrupt state in __SF_EMPTY on the stack when disabling/restoring interrupts. sie64a however saves the pointer to the sie control block in __SF_SIE_CONTROL, which references the same location. This is non-obvious to the reader. To avoid thrashing the sie control block pointer in load_fpu_regs(), move the __SIE_* offsets eight bytes after __SF_EMPTY on the stack.

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.
