      x86/fpu/xstate: Use explicit parameter in xstate_fault() · b11ca7fb
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      While looking at xstate.h it took me some time to realize that
      'xstate_fault' uses 'err' as a silent parameter. This is not
      obvious at the call site, at all.
      
      Make it an explicit macro argument, so that the syntactic
      connection is easier to see. Also explain xstate_fault()
      a bit.

      x86/fpu: Generalize 'init_xstate_ctx' · 6f575023
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      So the handling of init_xstate_ctx has a layering violation: both
      'struct xsave_struct' and 'union thread_xstate' have a
      'struct i387_fxsave_struct' member:
      
         xsave_struct::i387
         thread_xstate::fxsave
      
      The handling of init_xstate_ctx is generic, it is used on all
      CPUs, with or without XSAVE instruction. So it's confusing how
      the generic code passes around and handles an XSAVE specific
      format.
      
      What we really want is for init_xstate_ctx to be a proper
      fpstate and we use its ::fxsave and ::xsave members, as
      appropriate.
      
      Since the xsave_struct::i387 and thread_xstate::fxsave aliases
      each other this is not a functional problem.
      
      So implement this, and move init_xstate_ctx to the generic FPU
      code in the process.
      
      Also, since init_xstate_ctx is not XSAVE specific anymore,
      rename it to init_fpstate, and mark it __read_mostly,
      because it's only modified once during bootup, and used
      as a reference fpstate later on.
      
      There's no change in functionality.

      x86/fpu: Simplify the xsave_state*() methods · 3e261c14
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      These functions (xsave_state() and xsave_state_booting()) have a 'mask'
      argument that is always -1.
      
      Propagate this into the functions instead and eliminate the extra argument.
      
      Does not change the generated code, because these were inlined functions.

      x86/fpu/xsaves: Fix improper uses of __ex_table · 06c8173e
      Quentin Casasnovas 提交于
      Commit:
      
        f31a9f7c ("x86/xsaves: Use xsaves/xrstors to save and restore xsave area")
      
      introduced alternative instructions for XSAVES/XRSTORS and commit:
      
        adb9d526 ("x86/xsaves: Add xsaves and xrstors support for booting time")
      
      added support for the XSAVES/XRSTORS instructions at boot time.
      
      Unfortunately both failed to properly protect them against faulting:
      
      The 'xstate_fault' macro will use the closest label named '1'
      backward and that ends up in the .altinstr_replacement section
      rather than in .text. This means that the kernel will never find
      in the __ex_table the .text address where this instruction might
      fault, leading to serious problems if userspace manages to
      trigger the fault.

      x86, fpu: use non-lazy fpu restore for processors supporting xsave · 304bceda
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      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().

      x86, fpu: Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels · 72a671ce
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      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.
