/*
* Test cases for using floating point operations inside a kernel module.
*
* This tests kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() functions, especially
* when userland has modified the floating point control registers. The kernel
* state might depend on the state set by the userland thread that was active
* before a syscall.
*
* To facilitate the test, this module registers file
* /sys/kernel/debug/selftest_helpers/test_fpu, which when read causes a
* sequence of floating point operations. If the operations fail, either the
* read returns error status or the kernel crashes.
* If the operations succeed, the read returns "1\n".
