It may be necessary to save and restore the FPU context during EFI runtime system services calls. However, this may happen during boot and before alternatives have run. Thus, we need to use static_cpu_has_safe instead. The rationale behind the use of static_cpu_has_safe is the same as in commit 5f8c4218 ("x86, fpu: Use static_cpu_has_safe before alternatives") by Borislav Petkov.

The call stack below shows how this happens: basically eager_fpu_init() calls __thread_fpu_begin(current) which then does if (!use_eager_fpu()), which, in turn, uses static_cpu_has. And we're executing before alternatives so static_cpu_has doesn't work there yet. Use the safe variant in this path which becomes optimal after alternatives have run.

When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost. After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context. Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU, so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware. Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off, by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.

Fundamental model of the current Linux kernel is to lazily init and restore FPU instead of restoring the task state during context switch. This changes that fundamental lazy model to the non-lazy model for the processors supporting xsave feature. Reasons driving this model change are: i. Newer processors support optimized state save/restore using xsaveopt and xrstor by tracking the INIT state and MODIFIED state during context-switch. This is faster than modifying the cr0.TS bit which has serializing semantics. ii. Newer glibc versions use SSE for some of the optimized copy/clear routines. With certain workloads (like boot, kernel-compilation etc), application completes its work with in the first 5 task switches, thus taking upto 5 #DNA traps with the kernel not getting a chance to apply the above mentioned pre-load heuristic. iii. Some xstate features (like AMD's LWP feature) don't honor the cr0.TS bit and thus will not work correctly in the presence of lazy restore. Non-lazy state restore is needed for enabling such features. Some data on a two socket SNB system: * Saved 20K DNA exceptions during boot on a two socket SNB system. * Saved 50K DNA exceptions during kernel-compilation workload. * Improved throughput of the AVX based checksumming function inside the kernel by ~15% as xsave/xrstor is faster than the serializing clts/stts pair. Also now kernel_fpu_begin/end() relies on the patched alternative instructions. So move check_fpu() which uses the kernel_fpu_begin/end() after alternative_instructions().

Currently for x86 and x86_32 binaries, fpstate in the user sigframe is copied to/from the fpstate in the task struct. And in the case of signal delivery for x86_64 binaries, if the fpstate is live in the CPU registers, then the live state is copied directly to the user sigframe. Otherwise fpstate in the task struct is copied to the user sigframe. During restore, fpstate in the user sigframe is restored directly to the live CPU registers. Historically, different code paths led to different bugs. For example, x86_64 code path was not preemption safe till recently. Also there is lot of code duplication for support of new features like xsave etc. Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels. New strategy is as follows: Signal delivery: Both for 32/64-bit frames, align the core math frame area to 64bytes as needed by xsave (this where the main fpu/extended state gets copied to and excludes the legacy compatibility fsave header for the 32-bit [f]xsave frames). If the state is live, copy the register state directly to the user frame. If not live, copy the state in the thread struct to the user frame. And for 32-bit [f]xsave frames, construct the fsave header separately before the actual [f]xsave area. Signal return: As the 32-bit frames with [f]xstate has an additional 'fsave' header, copy everything back from the user sigframe to the fpstate in the task structure and reconstruct the fxstate from the 'fsave' header (Also user passed pointers may not be correctly aligned for any attempt to directly restore any partial state). At the next fpstate usage, everything will be restored to the live CPU registers. For all the 64-bit frames and the 32-bit fsave frame, restore the state from the user sigframe directly to the live CPU registers. 64-bit signals always restored the math frame directly, so we can expect the math frame pointer to be correctly aligned. For 32-bit fsave frames, there are no alignment requirements, so we can restore the state directly. "lat_sig catch" microbenchmark numbers (for x86, x86_64, x86_32 binaries) are with in the noise range with this change.

While various modules include <asm/i387.h> to get access to things we actually *intend* for them to use, most of that header file was really pretty low-level internal stuff that we really don't want to expose to others. So split the header file into two: the small exported interfaces remain in <asm/i387.h>, while the internal definitions that are only used by core architecture code are now in <asm/fpu-internal.h>. The guiding principle for this was to expose functions that we export to modules, and leave them in <asm/i387.h>, while stuff that is used by task switching or was marked GPL-only is in <asm/fpu-internal.h>. The fpu-internal.h file could be further split up too, especially since arch/x86/kvm/ uses some of the remaining stuff for its module. But that kvm usage should probably be abstracted out a bit, and at least now the internal FPU accessor functions are much more contained. Even if it isn't perhaps as contained as it _could_ be.

Instead of exporting the very low-level internals of the FPU state save/restore code (ie things like 'fpu_owner_task'), we should export the higher-level interfaces. Inlining these things is pointless anyway: sure, sometimes the end result is small, but while 'stts()' can result in just three x86 instructions, those are not cheap instructions (writing %cr0 is a serializing instruction and a very slow one at that). So the overhead of a function call is not noticeable, and we really don't want random modules mucking about with our internal state save logic anyway. So this unexports 'fpu_owner_task', and instead uninlines and exports the actual functions that modules can use: fpu_kernel_begin/end() and unlazy_fpu().

This makes us recognize when we try to restore FPU state that matches what we already have in the FPU on this CPU, and avoids the restore entirely if so. To do this, we add two new data fields: - a percpu 'fpu_owner_task' variable that gets written any time we update the "has_fpu" field, and thus acts as a kind of back-pointer to the task that owns the CPU. The exception is when we save the FPU state as part of a context switch - if the save can keep the FPU state around, we leave the 'fpu_owner_task' variable pointing at the task whose FP state still remains on the CPU. - a per-thread 'last_cpu' field, that indicates which CPU that thread used its FPU on last. We update this on every context switch (writing an invalid CPU number if the last context switch didn't leave the FPU in a lazily usable state), so we know that *that* thread has done nothing else with the FPU since. These two fields together can be used when next switching back to the task to see if the CPU still matches: if 'fpu_owner_task' matches the task we are switching to, we know that no other task (or kernel FPU usage) touched the FPU on this CPU in the meantime, and if the current CPU number matches the 'last_cpu' field, we know that this thread did no other FP work on any other CPU, so the FPU state on the CPU must match what was saved on last context switch. In that case, we can avoid the 'f[x]rstor' entirely, and just clear the CR0.TS bit. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This makes sure we clear the FPU usage counter for newly created tasks, just so that we start off in a known state (for example, don't try to preload the FPU state on the first task switch etc).

We should increment the *new* task fpu_counter, not the old task, and only if we decide to use that state (whether lazily or preloaded). Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870e ("i387: do not preload FPU state at task switch time"). However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements preloading with several fixes, most notably - properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as open-coded save and restore with various hacks. In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for no good reason. - Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the way they save and restore segment state differently due to architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state. - Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines, and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit. That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use 'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the state saving also trashes the state. In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving, rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to follow as a result.

This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own (called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu. This fixes two independent bugs at the same time: - changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was supposed to indicate). So perfectly valid code could (and did) do ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK; and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store. In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low fat and preemption-safe. - On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd thread_info copy aliases. This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel away the FPU state. (It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers). It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is found there too. Thanks to Arjan Van De Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for pointing us to the %esp issue.

The AMD K7/K8 CPUs don't save/restore FDP/FIP/FOP unless an exception is pending. In order to not leak FIP state from one process to another, we need to do a floating point load after the fxsave of the old process, and before the fxrstor of the new FPU state. That resets the state to the (uninteresting) kernel load, rather than some potentially sensitive user information. We used to do this directly after the FPU state save, but that is actually very inconvenient, since it (a) corrupts what is potentially perfectly good FPU state that we might want to lazy avoid restoring later and (b) on x86-64 it resulted in a very annoying ordering constraint, where "__unlazy_fpu()" in the task switch needs to be delayed until after the DS segment has been reloaded just to get the new DS value. Coupling it to the fxrstor instead of the fxsave automatically avoids both of these issues, and also ensures that we only do it when actually necessary (the FP state after a save may never actually get used). It's simply a much more natural place for the leaked state cleanup. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Yes, taking the trap to re-load the FPU/MMX state is expensive, but so is spending several days looking for a bug in the state save/restore code. And the preload code has some rather subtle interactions with both paravirtualization support and segment state restore, so it's not nearly as simple as it should be. Also, now that we no longer necessarily depend on a single bit (ie TS_USEDFPU) for keeping track of the state of the FPU, we migth be able to do better. If we are really switching between two processes that keep touching the FP state, save/restore is inevitable, but in the case of having one process that does most of the FPU usage, we may actually be able to do much better than the preloading. In particular, we may be able to keep track of which CPU the process ran on last, and also per CPU keep track of which process' FP state that CPU has. For modern CPU's that don't destroy the FPU contents on save time, that would allow us to do a lazy restore by just re-enabling the existing FPU state - with no restore cost at all!

This creates three helper functions that do the TS_USEDFPU accesses, and makes everybody that used to do it by hand use those helpers instead. In addition, there's a couple of helper functions for the "change both CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU at the same time" case, and the places that do that together have been changed to use those. That means that we have fewer random places that open-code this situation. The intent is partly to clarify the code without actually changing any semantics yet (since we clearly still have some hard to reproduce bug in this area), but also to make it much easier to use another approach entirely to caching the CR0.TS bit for software accesses. Right now we use a bit in the thread-info 'status' variable (this patch does not change that), but we might want to make it a full field of its own or even make it a per-cpu variable.

Touching TS_USEDFPU without touching CR0.TS is confusing, so don't do it. By moving it into the callers, we always do the TS_USEDFPU next to the CR0.TS accesses in the source code, and it's much easier to see how the two go hand in hand.

Commit 5b1cbac3 ("i387: make irq_fpu_usable() tests more robust") added a sanity check to the #NM handler to verify that we never cause the "Device Not Available" exception in kernel mode. However, that check actually pinpointed a (fundamental) race where we do cause that exception as part of the signal stack FPU state save/restore code. Because we use the floating point instructions themselves to save and restore state directly from user mode, we cannot do that atomically with testing the TS_USEDFPU bit: the user mode access itself may cause a page fault, which causes a task switch, which saves and restores the FP/MMX state from the kernel buffers. This kind of "recursive" FP state save is fine per se, but it means that when the signal stack save/restore gets restarted, it will now take the '#NM' exception we originally tried to avoid. With preemption this can happen even without the page fault - but because of the user access, we cannot just disable preemption around the save/restore instruction. There are various ways to solve this, including using the "enable/disable_page_fault()" helpers to not allow page faults at all during the sequence, and fall back to copying things by hand without the use of the native FP state save/restore instructions. However, the simplest thing to do is to just allow the #NM from kernel space, but fix the race in setting and clearing CR0.TS that this all exposed: the TS bit changes and the TS_USEDFPU bit absolutely have to be atomic wrt scheduling, so while the actual state save/restore can be interrupted and restarted, the act of actually clearing/setting CR0.TS and the TS_USEDFPU bit together must not. Instead of just adding random "preempt_disable/enable()" calls to what is already excessively ugly code, this introduces some helper functions that mostly mirror the "kernel_fpu_begin/end()" functionality, just for the user state instead. Those helper functions should probably eventually replace the other ad-hoc CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU tests too, but I'll need to think about it some more: the task switching functionality in particular needs to expose the difference between the 'prev' and 'next' threads, while the new helper functions intentionally were written to only work with 'current'.

The check for save_init_fpu() (introduced in commit 5b1cbac3: "i387: make irq_fpu_usable() tests more robust") was the wrong way around, but I hadn't noticed, because my "tests" were bogus: the FPU exceptions are disabled by default, so even doing a divide by zero never actually triggers this code at all unless you do extra work to enable them. So if anybody did enable them, they'd get one spurious warning. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Some code - especially the crypto layer - wants to use the x86 FP/MMX/AVX register set in what may be interrupt (typically softirq) context. That *can* be ok, but the tests for when it was ok were somewhat suspect. We cannot touch the thread-specific status bits either, so we'd better check that we're not going to try to save FP state or anything like that. Now, it may be that the TS bit is always cleared *before* we set the USEDFPU bit (and only set when we had already cleared the USEDFP before), so the TS bit test may actually have been sufficient, but it certainly was not obviously so. So this explicitly verifies that we will not touch the TS_USEDFPU bit, and adds a few related sanity-checks. Because it seems that somehow AES-NI is corrupting user FP state. The cause is not clear, and this patch doesn't fix it, but while debugging it I really wanted the code to be more obviously correct and robust.
