Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

The x86 FPU code used to have a complex state machine where both the FPU registers and the FPU state context could be 'active' (or inactive) independently of each other - which enabled features like lazy FPU restore. Much of this complexity is gone in the current code: now we basically can have FPU-less tasks (kernel threads) that don't use (and save/restore) FPU state at all, plus full FPU users that save/restore directly with no laziness whatsoever. But the fpu::fpstate_active still carries bits of the old complexity - meanwhile this flag has become a simple flag that shows whether the FPU context saving area in the thread struct is initialized and used, or not. Rename it to fpu::initialized to express this simplicity in the name as well.
