The compacted-format XSAVES area is determined at boot time and
never changed after. The field xsave.header.xcomp_bv indicates
which components are in the fixed XSAVES format.
In fpstate_init() we did not set xcomp_bv to reflect the XSAVES
format since at the time there is no valid data.
However, after we do copy_init_fpstate_to_fpregs() in fpu__clear(),
as in commit:
b22cbe404a x86/fpu: Fix invalid FPU ptrace state after execve()
and when __fpu_restore_sig() does fpu__restore() for a COMPAT-mode
app, a #GP occurs. This can be easily triggered by doing valgrind on
a COMPAT-mode "Hello World," as reported by Joakim Tjernlund and
others:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190061
Fix it by setting xcomp_bv correctly.
This patch also moves the xcomp_bv initialization to the proper
place, which was in copyin_to_xsaves() as of:
4c833368f0 x86/fpu: Set the xcomp_bv when we fake up a XSAVES area
which fixed the bug too, but it's more efficient and cleaner to
initialize things once per boot, not for every signal handling
operation.
