fpregs_set() has unnecessary complexity to support short or nonzero-offset writes and to handle the case in which a copy from userspace overwrites some of the target buffer and then fails. Support for partial writes is useless -- just require that the write has offset 0 and the correct size, and copy into a temporary kernel buffer to avoid clobbering the state if the user access fails.

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.
