On cpu's supporting xsave/xrstor, fpstate pointer in the sigcontext, will include the extended state information along with fpstate information. Presence of extended state information is indicated by the presence of FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 at fpstate.sw_reserved.magic1 and FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2 at fpstate + (fpstate.sw_reserved.extended_size - FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2_SIZE). Extended feature bit mask that is saved in the memory layout is represented by the fpstate.sw_reserved.xstate_bv For RT signal frames, UC_FP_XSTATE in the uc_flags also indicate the presence of extended state information in the sigcontext's fpstate pointer.

dynamically allocate fpstate on the stack, instead of static allocation in the current sigframe layout on the user stack. This will allow the fpstate structure to grow in the future, which includes extended state information supporting xsave/xrstor. signal handlers will be able to access the fpstate pointer from the sigcontext structure asusual, with no change. For the non RT sigframe's (which are supported only for 32bit apps), current static fpstate layout in the sigframe will be unused(so that we don't change the extramask[] offset in the sigframe and thus prevent breaking app's which modify extramask[]).

Uses xsave/xrstor (instead of traditional fxsave/fxrstor) in context switch when available. Introduces TS_XSAVE flag, which determine the need to use xsave/xrstor instructions during context switch instead of the legacy fxsave/fxrstor instructions. Thread-synchronous status word is already in L1 cache during this code patch and thus minimizes the performance penality compared to (cpu_has_xsave) checks.

What do you think? restore_fpu_checking() calls init_fpu() in error conditions. While this is wrong(as our main intention is to clear the fpu state of the thread), this was benign before commit 92d140e2 ("x86: fix taking DNA during 64bit sigreturn"). Post commit 92d140e2, live FPU registers may not belong to this process at this error scenario. In the error condition for restore_fpu_checking() (especially during the 64bit signal return), we are doing init_fpu(), which saves the live FPU register state (possibly belonging to some other process context) into the thread struct (through unlazy_fpu() in init_fpu()). This is wrong and can leak the FPU data. For the signal handler restore error condition in restore_i387(), clear the fpu state present in the thread struct(before ultimately sending a SIGSEGV for badframe). For the paranoid error condition check in math_state_restore(), send a SIGSEGV, if we fail to restore the state.

Suresh Siddha wants to fix a possible FPU leakage in error conditions, but the fact that save/restore_i387() are inlines in a header file makes that harder to do than necessary. So start off with an obvious cleanup. This just moves the x86-64 version of save/restore_i387() out of the header file, and moves it to the only file that it is actually used in: arch/x86/kernel/signal_64.c. So exposing it in a header file was wrong to begin with. [ Side note: I'd like to fix up some of the games we play with the 32-bit version of these functions too, but that's a separate matter. The 32-bit versions are shared - under different names at that! - by both the native x86-32 code and the x86-64 32-bit compatibility code ] Acked-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/. The format: 1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved. 2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h. 3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single underscores. Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>

Fix the math emulation that got broken with the recent lazy allocation of FPU area. init_fpu() need to be added for the math-emulation path aswell for the FPU area allocation. math emulation enabled kernel booted fine with this, in the presence of "no387 nofxsr" boot param.

If the task never used fpu, initialize the fpu before restoring the FP state from the signal handler context. This will allocate the fpu state, if the task never needed it before.

Only allocate the FPU area when the application actually uses FPU, i.e., in the first lazy FPU trap. This could save memory for non-fpu using apps. for example: on my system after boot, there are around 300 processes, with only 17 using FPU.

Split the FPU save area from the task struct. This allows easy migration of FPU context, and it's generally cleaner. It also allows the following two optimizations: 1) only allocate when the application actually uses FPU, so in the first lazy FPU trap. This could save memory for non-fpu using apps. Next patch does this lazy allocation. 2) allocate the right size for the actual cpu rather than 512 bytes always. Patches enabling xsave/xrstor support (coming shortly) will take advantage of this.

This removes all the old code that is no longer used after the i387 unification and cleanup. The i387_64.h is renamed to i387.h with no changes, but since it replaces the nonempty one-line stub i387.h it looks like a big diff and not a rename.

This revamps the i387 code to be shared across 32-bit, 64-bit, and 32-on-64. It does so by consolidating the code in one place based on the user_regset accessor interfaces. This switches 32-bit to using the i387_64.h header and 64-bit to using the i387.c that was previously i387_32.c, but that's what took the least cleanup in each file. Here i387.h is stubbed to always include i387_64.h rather than renaming the file, to keep this diff smaller and easier to read.
