If the fast path of restoring the FPU state on sigreturn fails or is not taken and the current task's FPU is active then the FPU has to be deactivated for the slow path to allow a safe update of the tasks FPU memory state. With supervisor states enabled, this requires to save the supervisor state in the memory state first. Supervisor states require XSAVES so saving only the supervisor state requires to reshuffle the memory buffer because XSAVES uses the compacted format and therefore stores the supervisor states at the beginning of the memory state. That's just an overengineered optimization. Get rid of it and save the full state for this case.

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.
