The reason is the incorrect assumption in fpu_copy(), that FNSAVE
can be executed from math-emu kernels as well.
Don't try to copy the registers, the soft state will be copied
by fork anyway, so the child task inherits the parent task's
soft math state.
With this fix applied math-emu kernels boot up fine on modern
hardware and the 'no387 nofxsr' boot options.

NOTE: This patch also changes the assembly constraint of the FXSAVE-leak

fpu__activate_fpstate_write() is used before ptrace writes to the fpstate
context. Because it expects the modified registers to be reloaded on the

Currently fpu__activate_fpstate() is used for two distinct purposes:
- read access by ptrace and core dumping, where in the core dumping
case the current task's FPU state may be examined as well.
- write access by ptrace, which modifies FPU registers and expects
the modified registers to be reloaded on the next context switch.
Split out the reading side into fpu__activate_fpstate_read().
( Note that this is just a pure duplication of fpu__activate_fpstate()
for the time being, we'll optimize the new function in the next patch. )

Bobby Powers reported the following FPU warning during ELF coredumping:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27452 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/core.c:324 fpu__activate_stopped+0x8a/0xa0()
This warning unearthed an invalid assumption about fpu__activate_stopped()
that I added in:
67e97fc2ec ("x86/fpu: Rename init_fpu() to fpu__unlazy_stopped() and add debugging check")
the old init_fpu() function had an (intentional but obscure) side effect:
when FPU registers are accessed for the current task, for reading, then
it synchronized live in-register FPU state with the fpstate by saving it.
So fix this bug by saving the FPU if we are the current task. We'll
still warn in fpu__save() if this is called for not yet stopped
child tasks, so the debugging check is still preserved.
Also rename the function to fpu__activate_fpstate(), because it's not
exclusively used for stopped tasks, but for the current task as well.
( Note that this bug calls for a cleaner separation of access-for-read
and access-for-modification FPU methods, but we'll do that in separate
patches. )

Improve the memory layout of 'struct fpu':
- change ->fpregs_active from 'int' to 'char' - it's just a single flag
and modern x86 CPUs can do efficient byte accesses.
- pack related fields closer to each other: often 'fpu->state' will not be
touched, while the other fields will - so pack them into a group.
Also add comments to each field, describing their purpose, and add
some background information about lazy restores.
Also fix an obsolete, lazy switching related comment in fpu_copy()'s description.

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.

With recent cleanups and fixes the fpu__reset() and fpu__clear()
functions have become almost identical in functionality: the only
difference is that fpu__reset() assumed that the fpstate
was already active in the eagerfpu case, while fpu__clear()
activated it if it was inactive.
This distinction almost never matters, the only case where such
fpstate activation happens if if the init thread (PID 1) gets exec()-ed
for the first time.
So keep fpu__clear() and change all fpu__reset() uses to
fpu__clear() to simpify the logic.
( In a later patch we'll further simplify fpu__clear() by making
sure that all contexts it is called on are already active. )

drop_fpu() and fpu_reset_state() are similar in functionality
and in scope, yet this is not apparent from their names.
drop_fpu() deactivates FPU contents (both the fpregs and the fpstate),
but leaves register contents intact in the eager-FPU case, mostly as an
optimization. It disables fpregs in the lazy FPU case. The drop_fpu()
method can be used to destroy FPU state in an optimized way, when we
know that a new state will be loaded before user-space might see
any remains of the old FPU state:
- such as in sys_exit()'s exit_thread() where we know this task
won't execute any user-space instructions anymore and the
next context switch cleans up the FPU. The old FPU state
might still be around in the eagerfpu case but won't be
saved.
- in __restore_xstate_sig(), where we use drop_fpu() before
copying a new state into the fpstate and activating that one.
No user-pace instructions can execute between those steps.
- in sys_execve()'s fpu__clear(): there we use drop_fpu() in
the !eagerfpu case, where it's equivalent to a full reinit.
fpu_reset_state() is a stronger version of drop_fpu(): both in
the eagerfpu and the lazy-FPU case it guarantees that fpregs
are reinitialized to init state. This method is used in cases
where we need a full reset:
- handle_signal() uses fpu_reset_state() to reset the FPU state
to init before executing a user-space signal handler. While we
have already saved the original FPU state at this point, and
always restore the original state, the signal handling code
still has to do this reinit, because signals may interrupt
any user-space instruction, and the FPU might be in various
intermediate states (such as an unbalanced x87 stack) that is
not immediately usable for general C signal handler code.
- __restore_xstate_sig() uses fpu_reset_state() when the signal
frame has no FP context. Since the signal handler may have
modified the FPU state, it gets reset back to init state.
- in another branch __restore_xstate_sig() uses fpu_reset_state()
to handle a restoration error: when restore_user_xstate() fails
to restore FPU state and we might have inconsistent FPU data,
fpu_reset_state() is used to reset it back to a known good
state.
- __kernel_fpu_end() uses fpu_reset_state() in an error branch.
This is in a 'must not trigger' error branch, so on bug-free
kernels this never triggers.
- fpu__restore() uses fpu_reset_state() in an error path
as well: if the fpstate was set up with invalid FPU state
(via ptrace or via a signal handler), then it's reset back
to init state.
- likewise, the scheduler's switch_fpu_finish() uses it in a
restoration error path too.
Move both drop_fpu() and fpu_reset_state() to the fpu__*() namespace
and harmonize their naming with their function:
fpu__drop()
fpu__reset()
This clearly shows that both methods operate on the full state of the
FPU, just like fpu__restore().
Also add comments to explain what each function does.

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.

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);

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.

Encapsulate these in:

Doing this synchronizes the idiom with the fpu->fpregs_active

So 6 years ago we made the FPU fpstate dynamically allocated:
aa283f4927 ("x86, fpu: lazy allocation of FPU area - v5")
61c4628b53 ("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.

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.
