      x86: Introduce 'struct fpu' and related API · 86603283
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      Currently all fpu state access is through tsk->thread.xstate.  Since we wish
      to generalize fpu access to non-task contexts, wrap the state in a new
      'struct fpu' and convert existing access to use an fpu API.
      
      Signal frame handlers are not converted to the API since they will remain
      task context only things.

      x86: Eliminate TS_XSAVE · c9ad4882
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      The fpu code currently uses current->thread_info->status & TS_XSAVE as
      a way to distinguish between XSAVE capable processors and older processors.
      The decision is not really task specific; instead we use the task status to
      avoid a global memory reference - the value should be the same across all
      threads.
      
      Eliminate this tie-in into the task structure by using an alternative
      instruction keyed off the XSAVE cpu feature; this results in shorter and
      faster code, without introducing a global memory reference.

      x86, ptrace: regset extensions to support xstate · 5b3efd50
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Add the xstate regset support which helps extend the kernel ptrace and the
      core-dump interfaces to support AVX state etc.
      
      This regset interface is designed to support all the future state that gets
      supported using xsave/xrstor infrastructure.
      
      Looking at the memory layout saved by "xsave", one can't say which state
      is represented in the memory layout. This is because if a particular state is
      in init state, in the xsave hdr it can be represented by bit '0'. And hence
      we can't really say by the xsave header wether a state is in init state or
      the state is not saved in the memory layout.
      
      And hence the xsave memory layout available through this regset
      interface uses SW usable bytes [464..511] to convey what state is represented
      in the memory layout.
      
      First 8 bytes of the sw_usable_bytes[464..467] will be set to OS enabled xstate
      mask(which is same as the 64bit mask returned by the xgetbv's xCR0).
      
      The note NT_X86_XSTATE represents the extended state information in the
      core file, using the above mentioned memory layout.

      x86-64: fix FPU corruption with signals and preemption · 06c38d5e
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      In 64bit signal delivery path, clear_used_math() was happening before saving
      the current active FPU state on to the user stack for signal handling. Between
      clear_used_math() and the state store on to the user stack, potentially we
      can get a page fault for the user address and can block. Infact, while testing
      we were hitting the might_fault() in __clear_user() which can do a schedule().
      
      At a later point in time, we will schedule back into this process and
      resume the save state (using "xsave/fxsave" instruction) which can lead
      to DNA fault. And as used_math was cleared before, we will reinit the FP state
      in the DNA fault and continue. This reinit will result in loosing the
      FPU state of the process.
      
      Move clear_used_math() to a point after the FPU state has been stored
      onto the user stack.
      
      This issue is present from a long time (even before the xsave changes
      and the x86 merge). But it can easily be exposed in 2.6.28.x and 2.6.29.x
      series because of the __clear_user() in this path, which has an explicit
      __cond_resched() leading to a context switch with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY.
