- * FPU context switching strategies:
- *
- * Against popular belief, we don't do lazy FPU saves, due to the
- * task migration complications it brings on SMP - we only do
- * lazy FPU restores.
- *
- * 'lazy' is the traditional strategy, which is based on setting
- * CR0::TS to 1 during context-switch (instead of doing a full
- * restore of the FPU state), which causes the first FPU instruction
- * after the context switch (whenever it is executed) to fault - at
- * which point we lazily restore the FPU state into FPU registers.
- *
- * Tasks are of course under no obligation to execute FPU instructions,
- * so it can easily happen that another context-switch occurs without
- * a single FPU instruction being executed. If we eventually switch
- * back to the original task (that still owns the FPU) then we have
- * not only saved the restores along the way, but we also have the
- * FPU ready to be used for the original task.
- *
- * 'lazy' is deprecated because it's almost never a performance win
- * and it's much more complicated than 'eager'.
- *
- * 'eager' switching is by default on all CPUs, there we switch the FPU
- * state during every context switch, regardless of whether the task
- * has used FPU instructions in that time slice or not. This is done
- * because modern FPU context saving instructions are able to optimize
- * state saving and restoration in hardware: they can detect both
- * unused and untouched FPU state and optimize accordingly.
- *
- * [ Note that even in 'lazy' mode we might optimize context switches
- * to use 'eager' restores, if we detect that a task is using the FPU
- * frequently. See the fpu->counter logic in fpu/internal.h for that. ]
