So I was playing with gdb today and did this simple thing: gdb /bin/ls ... (gdb) run Box exploded with this splat: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000001d0 IP: [<ffffffff8100fe5a>] xstateregs_get+0x7a/0x120 [...] Call Trace: ptrace_regset ptrace_request ? wait_task_inactive ? preempt_count_sub arch_ptrace ? ptrace_get_task_struct SyS_ptrace system_call_fastpath ... because we do cache &target->thread.fpu.state->xsave into the local variable xsave but that pointer is NULL at that time and it gets initialized later, in init_fpu(), see: e7f180dc ("x86/fpu: Change xstateregs_get()/set() to use ->xsave.i387 rather than ->fxsave") The fix is simple: load xsave *after* init_fpu() has run. Also do the same in xstateregs_set(), as suggested by Oleg Nesterov.

fx_finit() has two users but only fpu_finit() needs to clear xstate, alloc_bootmem_align() in setup_init_fpu_buf() returns zero-filled memory. And note that both memset()'s look confusing.

The __thread_has_fpu() check in interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle() was needed to prevent the nested kernel_fpu_begin(). Now that we have in_kernel_fpu and !__thread_has_fpu() case in __kernel_fpu_begin() does not depend on use_eager_fpu() (except clts) we can remove it. __thread_has_fpu() can be false even if use_eager_fpu(), but this case does not differ from !use_eager_fpu() case except we should not worry about X86_CR0_TS, __kernel_fpu_begin()/end() will not touch this bit. Note: I think we can kill all irq_fpu_usable() checks except in_kernel_fpu, just we need to record the state of X86_CR0_TS in __kernel_fpu_begin() and conditionalize stts() in __kernel_fpu_end(), but this needs another patch.

__kernel_fpu_begin() does nothing if !__thread_has_fpu() && use_eager_fpu(), perhaps it assumes that this case is simply impossible. This is certainly not possible if in_interrupt() == T; interrupted_user_mode() should have FPU, and interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle() should fail if !__thread_has_fpu(). However, even if use_eager_fpu() == T a task can do drop_fpu(), then switch to another thread which becomes fpu_owner_task, then resume and call some function which does kernel_fpu_begin(). Say, an exiting task does a lot of things after exit_thread(), it is not safe to assume that it can't use FPU in these paths.

unlazy_fpu()->__thread_fpu_end() doesn't look right if use_eager_fpu(). Unconditional __thread_fpu_end() is only correct if we know that this thread can't return to user-mode and use FPU. Fortunately it has only 2 callers. fpu_copy() checks use_eager_fpu(), and init_fpu(current) can be only called by the coredumping thread via regset->get(). But it is exported to modules, and imo this should be fixed anyway. And if we check use_eager_fpu() we can use __save_fpu() like fpu_copy() and save_init_fpu() do. - It seems that even !use_eager_fpu() case doesn't need the unconditional __thread_fpu_end(), we only need it if __save_init_fpu() returns 0. - It is still not clear to me if __save_init_fpu() can safely nest with another save + restore from __kernel_fpu_begin(). If not, we can use kernel_fpu_disable() to fix the race.

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.

math_state_restore() can race with kernel_fpu_begin() if irq comes right after __thread_fpu_begin(), __save_init_fpu() will overwrite fpu->state we are going to restore. Add 2 simple helpers, kernel_fpu_disable() and kernel_fpu_enable() which simply set/clear in_kernel_fpu, and change math_state_restore() to exclude kernel_fpu_begin() in between. Alternatively we could use local_irq_save/restore, but probably these new helpers can have more users. Perhaps they should disable/enable preemption themselves, in this case we can remove preempt_disable() in __restore_xstate_sig().

Now that we have in_kernel_fpu we can remove __thread_clear_has_fpu() in __kernel_fpu_begin(). And this allows to replace the asymmetrical and nontrivial use_eager_fpu + tsk_used_math check in kernel_fpu_end() with the same __thread_has_fpu() check. The logic becomes really simple; if _begin() does save() then _end() needs restore(), this is controlled by __thread_has_fpu(). Otherwise they do clts/stts unless use_eager_fpu(). Not only this makes begin/end symmetrical and imo more understandable, potentially this allows to change irq_fpu_usable() to avoid all other checks except "in_kernel_fpu". Also, with this patch __kernel_fpu_end() does restore_fpu_checking() and WARNs if it fails instead of math_state_restore(). I think this looks better because we no longer need __thread_fpu_begin(), and it would be better to report the failure in this case.

interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle() tries to detect if kernel_fpu_begin() is safe or not. In particular it should obviously deny the nested kernel_fpu_begin() and this logic looks very confusing. If use_eager_fpu() == T we rely on a) __thread_has_fpu() check in interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle(), and b) on the fact that _begin() does __thread_clear_has_fpu(). Otherwise we demand that the interrupted task has no FPU if it is in kernel mode, this works because __kernel_fpu_begin() does clts() and interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle() checks X86_CR0_TS. Add the per-cpu "bool in_kernel_fpu" variable, and change this code to check/set/clear it. This allows to do more cleanups and fixes, see the next changes. The patch also moves WARN_ON_ONCE() under preempt_disable() just to make this_cpu_read() look better, this is not really needed. And in fact I think we should move it into __kernel_fpu_begin().

For non-eager fpu mode, thread's fpu state is allocated during the first fpu usage (in the context of device not available exception). This (math_state_restore()) can be a blocking call and hence we enable interrupts (which were originally disabled when the exception happened), allocate memory and disable interrupts etc. But the eager-fpu mode, call's the same math_state_restore() from kernel_fpu_end(). The assumption being that tsk_used_math() is always set for the eager-fpu mode and thus avoid the code path of enabling interrupts, allocating fpu state using blocking call and disable interrupts etc. But the below issue was noticed by Maarten Baert, Nate Eldredge and few others: If a user process dumps core on an ecrypt fs while aesni-intel is loaded, we get a BUG() in __find_get_block() complaining that it was called with interrupts disabled; then all further accesses to our ecrypt fs hang and we have to reboot. The aesni-intel code (encrypting the core file that we are writing) needs the FPU and quite properly wraps its code in kernel_fpu_{begin,end}(), the latter of which calls math_state_restore(). So after kernel_fpu_end(), interrupts may be disabled, which nobody seems to expect, and they stay that way until we eventually get to __find_get_block() which barfs. For eager fpu, most the time, tsk_used_math() is true. At few instances during thread exit, signal return handling etc, tsk_used_math() might be false. In kernel_fpu_end(), for eager-fpu, call math_state_restore() only if tsk_used_math() is set. Otherwise, don't bother. Kernel code path which cleared tsk_used_math() knows what needs to be done with the fpu state.

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.

With the addition of eagerfpu the irq_fpu_usable() now returns false negatives especially in the case of ksoftirqd and interrupted idle task, two common cases for FPU use for example in networking/crypto. With eagerfpu=off FPU use is possible in those contexts. This is because of the eagerfpu check in interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle(): ... * For now, with eagerfpu we will return interrupted kernel FPU * state as not-idle. TBD: Ideally we can change the return value * to something like __thread_has_fpu(current). But we need to * be careful of doing __thread_clear_has_fpu() before saving * the FPU etc for supporting nested uses etc. For now, take * the simple route! ... if (use_eager_fpu()) return 0; As eagerfpu is automatically "on" on those CPUs that also have the features like AES-NI this patch changes the eagerfpu check to return 1 in case the kernel_fpu_begin() has not been said yet. Once it has been the __thread_has_fpu() will start returning 0. Notice that with eagerfpu the __thread_has_fpu is always true initially. FPU use is thus always possible no matter what task is under us, unless the state has already been saved with kernel_fpu_begin().

Preemption is disabled between kernel_fpu_begin/end() and as such it is not a good idea to use these routines in kvm_load/put_guest_fpu() which can be very far apart. kvm_load/put_guest_fpu() routines are already called with preemption disabled and KVM already uses the preempt notifier to save the guest fpu state using kvm_put_guest_fpu(). So introduce __kernel_fpu_begin/end() routines which don't touch preemption and use them instead of kernel_fpu_begin/end() for KVM's use model of saving/restoring guest FPU state. Also with this change (and with eagerFPU model), fix the host cr0.TS vm-exit state in the case of VMX. For eagerFPU case, host cr0.TS is always clear. So no need to worry about it. For the traditional lazyFPU restore case, change the cr0.TS bit for the host state during vm-exit to be always clear and cr0.TS bit is set in the __vmx_load_host_state() when the FPU (guest FPU or the host task's FPU) state is not active. This ensures that the host/guest FPU state is properly saved, restored during context-switch and with interrupts (using irq_fpu_usable()) not stomping on the active FPU state.

Decouple non-lazy/eager fpu restore policy from the existence of the xsave feature. Introduce a synthetic CPUID flag to represent the eagerfpu policy.

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.

Since percpu_xxx() serial functions are duplicated with this_cpu_xxx(). Removing percpu_xxx() definition and replacing them by this_cpu_xxx() in code. There is no function change in this patch, just preparation for later percpu_xxx serial function removing. On x86 machine the this_cpu_xxx() serial functions are same as __this_cpu_xxx() without no unnecessary premmpt enable/disable.

Starting from 7e16838d "i387: support lazy restore of FPU state" we assume that fpu_owner_task doesn't need restore_fpu_checking() on the context switch, its FPU state should match what we already have in the FPU on this CPU. However, debugger can change the tracee's FPU state, in this case we should reset fpu.last_cpu to ensure fpu_lazy_restore() can't return true. Change init_fpu() to do this, it is called by user_regset->set() methods.

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().

xsave is broken for (!HAVE_HWFP). This is the case if config MATH_EMULATION is enabled, 'no387' kernel parameter is set and xsave exists. xsave will not work because x86/math-emu and xsave share the same memory. As this case can be treated as corner case we simply disable xsave then.

As xsave also supports other than fpu features, it should be initialized independently of the fpu. This patch moves this out of fpu initialization. There is also a lot of cross referencing between fpu and xsave code. This patch reduces this by making xsave_cntxt_init() and init_thread_xstate() static functions. The patch moves the cpu_has_xsave check at the beginning of xsave_init(). All other checks may removed then.
