x86/xsaves: Clear reserved bits in xsave header

2014-05-29T21:33:00Z

The reserved bits (128~511) in the xsave header must be zero according to X86 SDM. Clear the bits in this patch. Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1401387164-43416-12-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

x86, fpu: Check tsk_used_math() in kernel_fpu_end() for eager FPU

2014-03-11T19:32:52Z

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.

x86: move fpu_counter into ARCH specific thread_struct

2013-11-13T03:09:13Z

Only a couple of arches (sh/x86) use fpu_counter in task_struct so it can be moved out into ARCH specific thread_struct, reducing the size of task_struct for other arches.

x86, fpu: correct the asm constraints for fxsave, unbreak mxcsr.daz

2013-07-26T16:11:56Z

GCC will optimize mxcsr_feature_mask_init in arch/x86/kernel/i387.c: memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct)); asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch)); mask = fx_scratch.mxcsr_mask; if (mask == 0) mask = 0x0000ffbf; to memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct)); asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch)); mask = 0x0000ffbf; since asm statement doesn’t say it will update fx_scratch. As the result, the DAZ bit will be cleared. This patch fixes it. This bug dates back to at least kernel 2.6.12. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin Cc:

x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files

2013-07-14T23:36:56Z

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 5e427ec2d0 ("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.

x86: Get rid of ->hard_math and all the FPU asm fu

2013-06-06T21:32:04Z

Reimplement FPU detection code in C and drop old, not-so-recommended detection method in asm. Move all the relevant stuff into i387.c where it conceptually belongs. Finally drop cpuinfo_x86.hard_math.

x86: Allow FPU to be used at interrupt time even with eagerfpu

2013-05-30T23:36:42Z

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(). [ hpa: this is a performance regression, not a correctness regression, but since it can be quite serious on CPUs which need encryption at interrupt time I am marking this for urgent/stable. ] Signed-off-by: Pekka Riikonen Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.GSO.2.00.1305131356320.18@git.silcnet.org Cc: v3.7+ Signed-off-by: H.

x86, kvm: fix kvm's usage of kernel_fpu_begin/end()

2012-09-21T23:59:04Z

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.
