      i387: move TS_USEDFPU clearing out of __save_init_fpu and into callers · b6c66418
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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.

      i387: fix x86-64 preemption-unsafe user stack save/restore · 15d8791c
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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'.

      i387: fix sense of sanity check · c38e2345
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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.

         that ran cards in Ultra High Speed mode even when they failed to initialize
