Currently fpu__activate_fpstate() is used for two distinct purposes: - read access by ptrace and core dumping, where in the core dumping case the current task's FPU state may be examined as well. - write access by ptrace, which modifies FPU registers and expects the modified registers to be reloaded on the next context switch. Split out the reading side into fpu__activate_fpstate_read(). ( Note that this is just a pure duplication of fpu__activate_fpstate() for the time being, we'll optimize the new function in the next patch. ) Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Bobby Powers <bobbypowers@gmail.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.

Bobby Powers reported the following FPU warning during ELF coredumping: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27452 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/core.c:324 fpu__activate_stopped+0x8a/0xa0() This warning unearthed an invalid assumption about fpu__activate_stopped() that I added in: 67e97fc2 ("x86/fpu: Rename init_fpu() to fpu__unlazy_stopped() and add debugging check") the old init_fpu() function had an (intentional but obscure) side effect: when FPU registers are accessed for the current task, for reading, then it synchronized live in-register FPU state with the fpstate by saving it. So fix this bug by saving the FPU if we are the current task. We'll still warn in fpu__save() if this is called for not yet stopped child tasks, so the debugging check is still preserved. Also rename the function to fpu__activate_fpstate(), because it's not exclusively used for stopped tasks, but for the current task as well. ( Note that this bug calls for a cleaner separation of access-for-read and access-for-modification FPU methods, but we'll do that in separate patches. ) Reported-by: NBobby Powers <bobbypowers@gmail.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.

So much of fpu/core.c is the regset code, but it just obscures the generic FPU state machine logic. Factor out the regset code into fpu/regset.c, where it can be read in isolation. This affects one API: fpu__activate_stopped() has to be made available from the core to fpu/regset.c. No change in functionality.
