We need to disable interrupts in load_fpu_regs(). Otherwise an
interrupt might come in after the registers are loaded, but before
CIF_FPU is cleared in load_fpu_regs(). When the interrupt returns,
CIF_FPU will be cleared and the registers will never be restored.
The entry.S code usually saves the interrupt state in __SF_EMPTY on the
stack when disabling/restoring interrupts. sie64a however saves the pointer
to the sie control block in __SF_SIE_CONTROL, which references the same
location. This is non-obvious to the reader. To avoid thrashing the sie
control block pointer in load_fpu_regs(), move the __SIE_* offsets eight
bytes after __SF_EMPTY on the stack.

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.
