FPU restore from a signal frame can trigger various exceptions. The exceptions are caught with an exception table entry. The handler of this entry stores the trap number in EAX. The FPU specific fixup negates that trap number to convert it into an negative error code. Any other exception than #PF is fatal and recovery is not possible. This relies on the fact that the #PF exception number is the same as EFAULT, but that's not really obvious. Remove the negation from the exception fixup as it really has no value and check for X86_TRAP_PF at the call site. There is still confusion due to the return code conversion for the error case which will be cleaned up separately.

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.
