Standardize the naming of save_xstate_sig() by renaming it to copy_fpstate_to_sigframe(): this tells us at a glance that the function copies an FPU fpstate to a signal frame. This naming also follows the naming of copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(). Don't put 'xstate' into the name: since this is a generic name, it's expected that the function is able to handle xstate frames as well, beyond legacy frames. xstate used to be the odd case in the x86 FPU code - now it's the common case.

Currently fpstate_sanitize_xstate() has a task_struct input parameter, but it only uses the fpu structure from it - so pass in a 'struct fpu' pointer only and update all call sites.

Remove the extra layer of __fpstate_sanitize_xstate(): if (!use_xsaveopt()) return; __fpstate_sanitize_xstate(tsk); and move the check for use_xsaveopt() into fpstate_sanitize_xstate(). In general we optimize for the presence of CPU features, not for the absence of them. Furthermore there's little point in this inlining, as the call sites are not super hot code paths. Doing this uninlining shrinks the code a bit: text data bss dec hex filename 14108751 2573624 1634304 18316679 1177d87 vmlinux.before 14108627 2573624 1634304 18316555 1177d0b vmlinux.after Also remove a pointless '!fx' check from fpstate_sanitize_xstate().

So the sanitize_i387_state() function has the following purpose: on CPUs that support optimized xstate saving instructions, an FPU fpstate might end up having partially uninitialized data. This function initializes that data. Note that the function name is a misnomer and confusing on two levels, not only is it not i387 specific at all, but it is the exact opposite: it only matters on xstate CPUs. So rename sanitize_i387_state() and __sanitize_i387_state() to fpstate_sanitize_xstate() and __fpstate_sanitize_xstate(), to clearly express the purpose and usage of the function. We'll further clean up this function in the next patch.

Use the new 'cpu_has_xfeatures()' function to query AVX CPU support. This has the following advantages to the driver: - Decouples the driver from FPU internals: it's now only using <asm/fpu/api.h>. - Removes detection complexity from the driver, no more raw XGETBV instruction - Shrinks the code a bit. - Standardizes feature name error message printouts across drivers There are also advantages to the x86 FPU code: once all drivers are decoupled from internals we can move them out of common headers and we'll also be able to remove xcr.h.

A lot of FPU using driver code is querying complex CPU features to be able to figure out whether a given set of xstate features is supported by the CPU or not. Introduce a simplified API function that can be used on any CPU type to get this information. Also add an error string return pointer, so that the driver can print a meaningful error message with a standardized feature name. Also mark xfeatures_mask as __read_only.

'xsave' is an x86 instruction name to most people - but xsave.h is about a lot more than just the XSAVE instruction: it includes definitions and support, both internal and external, related to xstate and xfeatures support. As a first step in cleaning up the various xstate uses rename this header to 'fpu/xstate.h' to better reflect what this header file is about.

The current fpu_copy() code on lazy switching CPUs always saves into the current fpstate and then copies it over into the child context: preempt_disable(); if (!copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(src_fpu)) fpregs_deactivate(src_fpu); preempt_enable(); memcpy(&dst_fpu->state, &src_fpu->state, xstate_size); That memcpy() can be avoided on all lazy switching setups except really old FNSAVE-only systems: change fpu_copy() to directly save into the child context, for both the lazy and the eager context switching case. Note that we still have to do a memcpy() back into the parent context in the FNSAVE case, but this won't be executed on the majority of x86 systems that got built in the last 10 years or so.

So fpu__save() does this currently: copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(fpu); if (!use_eager_fpu()) fpregs_deactivate(fpu); ... which deactivates the FPU on lazy switching systems unconditionally. Both usecases of fpu__save() use this function to save the FPU state into a fpstate: fork()/clone() and math error signal handling. The unconditional disabling of FPU registers in the lazy switching case is probably a mistaken conversion of old FNSAVE code (that had to disable FPU registers). So speed up this code by only disabling FPU registers when absolutely necessary: when indicated by the copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() return code: if (!copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(fpu)) fpregs_deactivate(fpu); Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.

The current implementation of __save_fpu(): if (use_xsave()) { xsave_state(&fpu->state.xsave); } else { fpu_fxsave(fpu); } Is actually a simplified version of copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(), if use_eager_fpu() is true. But all call sites of __save_fpu() call it only it when use_eager_fpu() is true. So we can eliminate __save_fpu() altogether and use the standard copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() function. This cleans up the code by making it use fewer variants of FPU register saving.

__save_fpu() has this pattern: if (unlikely(system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING)) xsave_state_booting(&fpu->state.xsave); else xsave_state(&fpu->state.xsave); ... but it does not actually get called during system bootup. So remove the complication and always call xsave_state(). To make sure this assumption is correct, add a WARN_ONCE() debug check to xsave_state().

We have repeat patterns of: if (!use_eager_fpu()) clts(); ... to activate FPU registers, and: if (!use_eager_fpu()) stts(); ... to deactivate them. Encapsulate these in: __fpregs_activate_hw(); __fpregs_activate_hw(); and use them accordingly. Doing this synchronizes the idiom with the fpu->fpregs_active software-flag's handling functions, creating clear patterns of: __fpregs_activate_hw(); __fpregs_activate(fpu); etc., which improves readability.

In line with the fpstate_activate() change, name fpu__unlazy_stopped() in a similar fashion as well: its purpose is to make the fpstate of a stopped task the current and active FPU context, which may require unlazying and initialization. The unlazying is just part of the job, the main concept is to make the fpstate active. Also clarify the function's description to clarify its exact usage and the background behind it all.

Now that fpstate_init_curr() is not doing implicit allocations anymore, almost all uses of it involve a very simple pattern: if (!fpu->fpstate_active) fpstate_init_curr(fpu); which is basically activating the FPU fpstate if it was not active before. So propagate the check into the function itself, and rename the function according to its new purpose: fpu__activate_curr(fpu); Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.

Now that we always allocate the FPU context as part of task_struct there's no need for separate allocations - remove them and their primary failure handling code. ( Note that there's still secondary error codes that have become superfluous, those will be removed in separate patches. ) Move the somewhat misplaced setup_xstate_comp() call to the core.

So 6 years ago we made the FPU fpstate dynamically allocated: aa283f49 ("x86, fpu: lazy allocation of FPU area - v5") 61c4628b ("x86, fpu: split FPU state from task struct - v5") In hindsight this was a mistake: - it complicated context allocation failure handling, such as: /* kthread execs. TODO: cleanup this horror. */ if (WARN_ON(fpstate_alloc_init(fpu))) force_sig(SIGKILL, tsk); - it caused us to enable irqs in fpu__restore(): local_irq_enable(); /* * does a slab alloc which can sleep */ if (fpstate_alloc_init(fpu)) { /* * ran out of memory! */ do_group_exit(SIGKILL); return; } local_irq_disable(); - it (slightly) slowed down task creation/destruction by adding slab allocation/free pattens. - it made access to context contents (slightly) slower by adding one more pointer dereference. The motivation for the dynamic allocation was two-fold: - reduce memory consumption by non-FPU tasks - allocate and handle only the necessary amount of context for various XSAVE processors that have varying hardware frame sizes. These days, with glibc using SSE memcpy by default and GCC optimizing for SSE/AVX by default, the scope of FPU using apps on an x86 system is much larger than it was 6 years ago. For example on a freshly installed Fedora 21 desktop system, with a recent kernel, all non-kthread tasks have used the FPU shortly after bootup. Also, even modern embedded x86 CPUs try to support the latest vector instruction set - so they'll too often use the larger xstate frame sizes. So remove the dynamic allocation complication by embedding the FPU fpstate in task_struct again. This should make the FPU a lot more accessible to all sorts of atomic contexts. We could still optimize for the xstate frame size in the future, by moving the state structure to the last element of task_struct, and allocating only a part of that. This change is kept minimal by still keeping the ctx_alloc()/free() routines (that now do nothing substantial) - we'll remove them in the following patches.

x86/fpu: Optimize copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() by removing the FNCLEX synchronization with FP exceptions So we have the following ancient code in copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(): if (unlikely(fpu->state->fxsave.swd & X87_FSW_ES)) { asm volatile("fnclex"); goto drop_fpregs; } which clears pending FPU exceptions and then drops registers, which causes the next FP instruction of the saved context to re-load the saved FPU state, with all pending exceptions marked properly, and will re-start the exception handling mechanism in the hardware. Since FPU exceptions are always issued on instruction boundaries, in particular on the next FP instruction following the exception generating instruction, there's no fear of getting an FP exception asynchronously. They were truly asynchronous back in the IRQ13 days, when the FPU was a weird and expensive co-processor that did its own processing, and we had to synchronize with them, but that code is not working anymore: we don't have IRQ13 mapped in the IDT anymore. With the introduction of optimized XSAVE support there's a new complication: if the xstate features bit indicates that a particular state component is unused (in 'init state'), then the hardware does not guarantee that the XSAVE (et al) instruction keeps the underlying FPU state image in memory valid and current. In practice this means that the hardware won't write it, and the exceptions flag in the state might be an older version, with it still being set. This meant that we had to check the xfeatures flag as well, adding another memory load and branch to a critical hot path of the scheduler. So optimize all this by removing both the old quirk and the new check, and straight-line optimizing the most common cases with likely() hints. Quite a bit of code gets removed this way: arch/x86/kernel/process_64.o: text data bss dec filename 5484 8 0 5492 process_64.o.before 5416 8 0 5424 process_64.o.after Now there's also a chance that some weird behavior or erratum was masked by our IRQ13 handling quirk (or that I misunderstood the nature of the quirk), and that this change triggers some badness. There's no real good way to protect against that possibility other than keeping this change well isolated, well commented and well bisectable. If you bisect a weird (or not so weird) breakage to this commit then please let us know!

So fpu_save_init() is a historic name that got its name when the only way the FPU state was FNSAVE, which cleared (well, destroyed) the FPU state after saving it. Nowadays the name is misleading, because ever since the introduction of FXSAVE (and more modern FPU saving instructions) the 'we need to reload the FPU state' part is only true if there's a pending FPU exception [*], which is almost never the case. So rename it to copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() to make it clear what's happening. Also add a few comments about why we cannot keep registers in certain cases. Also clean up the control flow a bit, to make it more apparent when we are dropping/keeping FP registers, and to optimize the common case (of keeping fpregs) some more. [*] Probably not true anymore, modern instructions always leave the FPU state intact, even if exceptions are pending: because pending FP exceptions are posted on the next FP instruction, not asynchronously. They were truly asynchronous back in the IRQ13 case, and we had to synchronize with them, but that code is not working anymore: we don't have IRQ13 mapped in the IDT anymore. But a cleanup patch is obviously not the place to change subtle behavior.

Especially the irq_ts_save() function is pretty bloaty, generating over a dozen instructions, so uninline them. Even though the API is used rarely, the space savings are measurable: text data bss dec hex filename 13331995 2572920 1634304 17539219 10ba093 vmlinux.before 13331739 2572920 1634304 17538963 10b9f93 vmlinux.after ( This also allows the removal of an include file inclusion from fpu/api.h, speeding up the kernel build slightly. ) Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.
