Ingo Molnar 656f083116 x86/fpu: Rename copyin_to_xsaves()/copyout_from_xsaves() to copy_user_to_xstate()/copy_xstate_to_user()
The 'copyin/copyout' nomenclature needlessly departs from what the modern FPU code
uses, which is:

 copy_fpregs_to_fpstate()
 copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()
 copy_fregs_to_user()
 copy_fxregs_to_kernel()
 copy_fxregs_to_user()
 copy_kernel_to_fpregs()
 copy_kernel_to_fregs()
 copy_kernel_to_fxregs()
 copy_kernel_to_xregs()
 copy_user_to_fregs()
 copy_user_to_fxregs()
 copy_user_to_xregs()
 copy_xregs_to_kernel()
 copy_xregs_to_user()

I.e. according to this pattern, the following rename should be done:

  copyin_to_xsaves()    -> copy_user_to_xstate()
  copyout_from_xsaves() -> copy_xstate_to_user()

or, if we want to be pedantic, denote that that the user-space format is ptrace:

  copyin_to_xsaves()    -> copy_user_ptrace_to_xstate()
  copyout_from_xsaves() -> copy_xstate_to_user_ptrace()

But I'd suggest the shorter, non-pedantic name.

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.
