The conversion of the FPSIMD context switch trap code to C has added some overhead to calling it, due to the need to save registers that the procedure call standard defines as caller-saved. So, perhaps it is no longer worth invoking this trap handler quite so early. Instead, we can invoke it from fixup_guest_exit(), with little likelihood of increasing the overhead much further. As a convenience, this patch gives __hyp_switch_fpsimd() the same return semantics fixup_guest_exit(). For now there is no possibility of a spurious FPSIMD trap, so the function always returns true, but this allows it to be tail-called with a single return statement.

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.
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.
