Do it like all other high level FPU state handling functions: they only know about struct fpu, not about the task. (Also remove a dead prototype while at it.)

drop_fpu() and fpu_reset_state() are similar in functionality and in scope, yet this is not apparent from their names. drop_fpu() deactivates FPU contents (both the fpregs and the fpstate), but leaves register contents intact in the eager-FPU case, mostly as an optimization. It disables fpregs in the lazy FPU case. The drop_fpu() method can be used to destroy FPU state in an optimized way, when we know that a new state will be loaded before user-space might see any remains of the old FPU state: - such as in sys_exit()'s exit_thread() where we know this task won't execute any user-space instructions anymore and the next context switch cleans up the FPU. The old FPU state might still be around in the eagerfpu case but won't be saved. - in __restore_xstate_sig(), where we use drop_fpu() before copying a new state into the fpstate and activating that one. No user-pace instructions can execute between those steps. - in sys_execve()'s fpu__clear(): there we use drop_fpu() in the !eagerfpu case, where it's equivalent to a full reinit. fpu_reset_state() is a stronger version of drop_fpu(): both in the eagerfpu and the lazy-FPU case it guarantees that fpregs are reinitialized to init state. This method is used in cases where we need a full reset: - handle_signal() uses fpu_reset_state() to reset the FPU state to init before executing a user-space signal handler. While we have already saved the original FPU state at this point, and always restore the original state, the signal handling code still has to do this reinit, because signals may interrupt any user-space instruction, and the FPU might be in various intermediate states (such as an unbalanced x87 stack) that is not immediately usable for general C signal handler code. - __restore_xstate_sig() uses fpu_reset_state() when the signal frame has no FP context. Since the signal handler may have modified the FPU state, it gets reset back to init state. - in another branch __restore_xstate_sig() uses fpu_reset_state() to handle a restoration error: when restore_user_xstate() fails to restore FPU state and we might have inconsistent FPU data, fpu_reset_state() is used to reset it back to a known good state. - __kernel_fpu_end() uses fpu_reset_state() in an error branch. This is in a 'must not trigger' error branch, so on bug-free kernels this never triggers. - fpu__restore() uses fpu_reset_state() in an error path as well: if the fpstate was set up with invalid FPU state (via ptrace or via a signal handler), then it's reset back to init state. - likewise, the scheduler's switch_fpu_finish() uses it in a restoration error path too. Move both drop_fpu() and fpu_reset_state() to the fpu__*() namespace and harmonize their naming with their function: fpu__drop() fpu__reset() This clearly shows that both methods operate on the full state of the FPU, just like fpu__restore(). Also add comments to explain what each function does.

Now that we always allocate the FPU context as part of task_struct there's no need for separate allocations - remove them and their primary failure handling code. ( Note that there's still secondary error codes that have become superfluous, those will be removed in separate patches. ) Move the somewhat misplaced setup_xstate_comp() call to the core.

The following commit: f893959b ("x86/fpu: Don't abuse drop_init_fpu() in flush_thread()") removed drop_init_fpu() usage from flush_thread(). This seems to break things for me - the Go 1.4 test suite fails all over the place with floating point comparision errors (offending commit found through bisection). The functional change was that flush_thread() after this commit only calls restore_init_xstate() when both use_eager_fpu() and !used_math() are true. drop_init_fpu() (now fpu_reset_state()) calls restore_init_xstate() regardless of whether current used_math() - apply the same logic here. Switch used_math() -> tsk_used_math(tsk) to consistently use the grabbed tsk instead of current, like in the rest of flush_thread().

flush_thread() -> drop_init_fpu() is suboptimal and confusing. It does drop_fpu() or restore_init_xstate() depending on !use_eager_fpu(). But flush_thread() too checks eagerfpu right after that, and if it is true then restore_init_xstate() just burns CPU for no reason. We are going to load init_xstate_buf again after we set used_math()/user_has_fpu(), until then the FPU state can't survive after switch_to(). Remove it, and change the "if (!use_eager_fpu())" to call drop_fpu(). While at it, clean up the tsk/current usage.

sched/idle/x86: Restore mwait_idle() to fix boot hangs, to improve power savings and to improve performance In Linux-3.9 we removed the mwait_idle() loop: 69fb3676 ("x86 idle: remove mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param") The reasoning was that modern machines should be sufficiently happy during the boot process using the default_idle() HALT loop, until cpuidle loads and either acpi_idle or intel_idle invoke the newer MWAIT-with-hints idle loop. But two machines reported problems: 1. Certain Core2-era machines support MWAIT-C1 and HALT only. MWAIT-C1 is preferred for optimal power and performance. But if they support just C1, cpuidle never loads and so they use the boot-time default idle loop forever. 2. Some laptops will boot-hang if HALT is used, but will boot successfully if MWAIT is used. This appears to be a hidden assumption in BIOS SMI, that is presumably valid on the proprietary OS where the BIOS was validated. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60770 So here we effectively revert the patch above, restoring the mwait_idle() loop. However, we don't bother restoring the idle=mwait cmdline parameter, since it appears to add no value. Maintainer notes: For 3.9, simply revert 69fb3676 for 3.10, patch -F3 applies, fuzz needed due to __cpuinit use in context For 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, this patch applies cleanly Tested-by: NMike Galbraith <bitbucket@online.de> Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Acked-by: NMike Galbraith <bitbucket@online.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.9+ Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: H.

It has nothing to do with init -- there's only one TSS per cpu. Other names considered include: - current_tss: Confusing because we never switch the tss. - singleton_tss: Too long. This patch was generated with 's/init_tss/cpu_tss/g'. Followup patches will fix INIT_TSS and INIT_TSS_IST by hand.

We currently store references to the top of the kernel stack in multiple places: kernel_stack (with an offset) and init_tss.x86_tss.sp0 (no offset). The latter is defined by hardware and is a clean canonical way to find the top of the stack. Add an accessor so we can start using it. This needs minor paravirt tweaks. On native, sp0 defines the top of the kernel stack and is therefore always correct. On Xen and lguest, the hypervisor tracks the top of the stack, but we want to start reading sp0 in the kernel. Fixing this is simple: just update our local copy of sp0 as well as the hypervisor's copy on task switches.

AFAICS, there is no reason why kernel threads should have FPU context even if use_eager_fpu() == T. Now that interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle() does not check __thread_has_fpu() in the use_eager_fpu() case, we can remove the init_fpu() code from eager_fpu_init() and change flush_thread() called by do_execve() to initialize FPU. Note: of course, the change in flush_thread() is horrible and must be cleanuped. We need the new helper, and flush_thread() should return the error if init_fpu() fails.

CR4 manipulation was split, seemingly at random, between direct (write_cr4) and using a helper (set/clear_in_cr4). Unfortunately, the set_in_cr4 and clear_in_cr4 helpers also poke at the boot code, which only a small subset of users actually wanted. This patch replaces all cr4 access in functions that don't leave cr4 exactly the way they found it with new helpers cr4_set_bits, cr4_clear_bits, and cr4_set_bits_and_update_boot.

Cosmetic, but I think thread.fpu_counter should be initialized in arch_dup_task_struct() too, along with other "fpu" variables. And probably it make sense to turn it into thread.fpu->counter.

Cosmetic, but imho memset(&dst->thread.fpu, 0) is not good simply because it hides the (important) usage of ->has_fpu/etc from grep. Change this code to initialize the members explicitly. And note that ->last_cpu = 0 looks simply wrong, this can confuse fpu_lazy_restore() if per_cpu(fpu_owner_task, 0) has already exited and copy_process() re-allocated the same task_struct. Fortunately this is not actually possible because child->fpu_counter == 0 and thus fpu_lazy_restore() will not be called, but still this is not clean/robust.

arch_dup_task_struct() copies thread.fpu if fpu_allocated(), this looks suboptimal and misleading. Say, a forking process could use FPU only once in a signal handler but now tsk_used_math(src) == F, in this case the child gets a copy of fpu->state for no reason. The child won't use the saved registers anyway even if it starts to use FPU, this can only avoid fpu_alloc() in do_device_not_available(). Change this code to check tsk_used_math(current) instead. We still need to clear fpu->has_fpu/state, we could do this memset(0) under fpu_allocated() check but I think this doesn't make sense. See also the next change. use_eager_fpu() assumes that fpu_allocated() is always true, but a forking task (and thus its child) must always have PF_USED_MATH set, otherwise the child can either use FPU without used_math() (note that switch_fpu_prepare() doesn't do stts() in this case), or it will be killed by do_device_not_available()->BUG_ON(use_eager_fpu).

In standard form, each state is saved in the xsave area in fixed offset. But in compacted form, offset of each saved state only can be calculated during run time because some xstates may not be enabled and saved. We define kernel API get_xsave_addr() returns address of a given state saved in a xsave area. It can be called in kernel to get address of each xstate in xsave area in either standard format or compacted format. It's useful when kernel wants to directly access each state in xsave area.

Mike reported that commit 7d1a9417 ("x86: Use generic idle loop") regressed several workloads and caused excessive reschedule interrupts. The patch in question failed to notice that the x86 code had an inverted sense of the polling state versus the new generic code (x86: default polling, generic: default !polling). Fix the two prominent x86 mwait based idle drivers and introduce a few new generic polling helpers (fixing the wrong smp_mb__after_clear_bit usage). Also switch the idle routines to using tif_need_resched() which is an immediate TIF_NEED_RESCHED test as opposed to need_resched which will end up being slightly different.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

Moving x86 to the generic idle implementation (commit 7d1a9417 "x86: Use generic idle loop") wreckaged the stack protector. I stupidly missed that boot_init_stack_canary() must be inlined from a function which never returns, but I put that call into arch_cpu_idle_prepare() which of course returns. I pondered to play tricks with arch_cpu_idle_prepare() first, but then I noticed, that the other archs which have implemented the stackprotector (ARM and SH) do not initialize the canary for the non-boot cpus. So I decided to move the boot_init_stack_canary() call into cpu_startup_entry() ifdeffed with an CONFIG_X86 for now. This #ifdef is just a temporary measure as I don't want to inflict the boot_init_stack_canary() call on ARM and SH that late in the cycle. I'll queue a patch for 3.11 which removes the #ifdef if the ARM/SH maintainers have no objection.
