Patch series "Unified cross-architecture kernel-mode FPU API", v4. This series unifies the kernel-mode FPU API across several architectures by wrapping the existing functions (where needed) in consistently-named functions placed in a consistent header location, with mostly the same semantics: they can be called from preemptible or non-preemptible task context, and are not assumed to be reentrant. Architectures are also expected to provide CFLAGS adjustments for compiling FPU-dependent code. For the moment, SIMD/vector units are out of scope for this common API. This allows us to remove the ifdeffery and duplicated Makefile logic at each FPU user. It then implements the common API on RISC-V, and converts a couple of users to the new API: the AMDGPU DRM driver, and the FPU self test. The underlying goal of this series is to allow using newer AMD GPUs (e.g. Navi) on RISC-V boards such as SiFive's HiFive Unmatched. Those GPUs need CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DC_FP to initialize, which requires kernel-mode FPU support. This patch (of 15): The include guard should match the filename, or it will conflict with the newly-added asm/fpu.h.

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 reStructuredText 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.
