The function names for fxsave/fxrstor operations are horribly named and a permanent source of confusion. Rename: copy_fxregs_to_kernel() to fxsave() copy_kernel_to_fxregs() to fxrstor() copy_fxregs_to_user() to fxsave_to_user_sigframe() copy_user_to_fxregs() to fxrstor_from_user_sigframe() so it's clear what these are doing. All these functions are really low level wrappers around the equally named instructions, so mapping to the documentation is just natural. While at it, replace the static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_FXSR) with use_fxsr() to be consistent with the rest of the code. No functional change.

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.
