copy_to_user() returns the amount left to copy, it should return -EFAULT
if copy to user failed.

This looks technically correct, but the caller (only one)
will check for non-zero and will covert that to -EFAULT
in setup_rt_frame().

I expect if this change is done, it also needs to be done
for the callers too and there's a few others than assume
!=0 is an error.

I think it would be easier to define save_fp_state() to
return non-zero on error and note it does not return an
error code. It may be worth exiting the functio nif
the first __copy_to_user fails?

Note: setup_rt_frame -> setup_sigcontext -> save_fp_frame

Yes, as you said, the original code logic has no problem, it will covert
that to -EFAULT in setup_rt_frame().

The initial aim of this patch is to make save_fp_state() return error code
if __copy_to_user() failed, just like it returns -EFAULT if __put_user() 
failed.

I notice that restore_fp_state() has similar issue, it will return -EFAULT
if __get_user() failed and maybe return -EINVAL in the other error case,
both -EFAULT and -EINVAL are error code, but when __copy_from_user() failed,
it does not return an error code, which seems not so consistent.

Now,
(1) is it necessary to do some changes? If yes, I will send v2 later.
Like this:

[PATCH v2] riscv: Return -EFAULT if copy_{to,from}_user() failed in
  signal.c

copy_{to,from}_user() returns the amount left to copy, it should return
-EFAULT error code if copy {to,from} user failed, just like the return
value is an error code when {put,get}_user() failed, this is to make the
return value consistent, no function change.
