=======================
Wolfgang also found out that adding kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end()
around the padlock instructions fix the oops.
Suresh wrote:
These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves
similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults
when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause
oops with the recent fpu code changes.
This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem:
a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between
start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary()
b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is
cleared.
c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt
routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as
cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is
in the task's xstate.
d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does
free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while
the TS_USEDFPU is still set.
e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task,
we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null.
This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to()
Now:
1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered
similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT.
2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because
kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the
situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above.
3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious
math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's
math state was always in an allocated state.
With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops,
there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example,
while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy
page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock
instructions generating DNA fault).
This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation
changes:
0. CPU's TS flag is set
1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing
kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts()
2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we
take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set.
3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts
4. We complete the padlock routine
5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes
the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point,
we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll
set and not cleared.
6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context
switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set
and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu()
will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are
in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will
restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state.
Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task
but take a DNA fault for the prev task.
This causes the fpu leakage.
Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the
context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts
manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA
in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and
the possible FPU leakage issue.

i387: re-introduce FPU state preloading at context switch time
After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that
caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the
preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870ef3ff ("i387:
do not preload FPU state at task switch time").
However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements
preloading with several fixes, most notably
- properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as
open-coded save and restore with various hacks.
In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us
to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the
TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses
are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for
no good reason.
- Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so
that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the
way they save and restore segment state differently due to
architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state.
- Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines,
and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing
else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on
the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just
re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit.
That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the
infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use
'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the
state saving also trashes the state.
In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving,
rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to
follow as a result.

i387: re-introduce FPU state preloading at context switch time
After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that
caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the
preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870ef3ff ("i387:
do not preload FPU state at task switch time").
However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements
preloading with several fixes, most notably
- properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as
open-coded save and restore with various hacks.
In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us
to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the
TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses
are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for
no good reason.
- Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so
that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the
way they save and restore segment state differently due to
architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state.

i387: move TS_USEDFPU flag from thread_info to task_struct
This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the
FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own
(called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu.
This fixes two independent bugs at the same time:
- changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty
problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to
be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was
supposed to indicate).
So perfectly valid code could (and did) do
ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK;
and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store
instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task
switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The
change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store.
In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field
was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to
generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus
happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low
fat and preemption-safe.
- On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts
and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because
x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the
separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd
thread_info copy aliases.
This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to
look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at
interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the
heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel
away the FPU state.
(It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers).
It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural
for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they
tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie
scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is
found there too.

switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The
change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store.
In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field
was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to
generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus
happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low
fat and preemption-safe.
- On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts
and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because
x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the
separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd
thread_info copy aliases.
This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to
look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at
interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the
heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel
away the FPU state.
(It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers).
It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural
for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they
tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie
scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is
found there too.

i387: move TS_USEDFPU flag from thread_info to task_struct
This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the
FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own

This fixes two independent bugs at the same time:
- changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty
problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to
be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was
supposed to indicate).
So perfectly valid code could (and did) do
ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK;
and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store
instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task
switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The

i387: re-introduce FPU state preloading at context switch time
After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that
caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the
preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870ef3ff ("i387:
do not preload FPU state at task switch time").
However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements
preloading with several fixes, most notably
- properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as
open-coded save and restore with various hacks.
In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us
to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the
TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses
are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for
no good reason.
- Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so
that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the
way they save and restore segment state differently due to
architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state.
- Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines,
and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing
else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on
the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just
re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit.
That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the
infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use
'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the
state saving also trashes the state.
In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving,
rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to
follow as a result.

i387: re-introduce FPU state preloading at context switch time
After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that
caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the
preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870ef3ff ("i387:
do not preload FPU state at task switch time").
However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements
preloading with several fixes, most notably
- properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as
open-coded save and restore with various hacks.
In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us
to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the
TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses
are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for
no good reason.
- Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so
that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the
way they save and restore segment state differently due to
architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state.
- Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines,
and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing
else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on
the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just
re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit.
That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the
infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use
'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the
state saving also trashes the state.
In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving,
rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to
follow as a result.

i387: move TS_USEDFPU flag from thread_info to task_struct
This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the
FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own
(called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu.
This fixes two independent bugs at the same time:
- changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty
problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to
be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was
supposed to indicate).
So perfectly valid code could (and did) do
ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK;
and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store
instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task
switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The
change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store.
In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field
was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to
generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus
happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low
fat and preemption-safe.
- On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts
and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because
x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the
separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd
thread_info copy aliases.
This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to
look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at
interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the
heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel
away the FPU state.
(It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers).
It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural
for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they
tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie
scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is
found there too.

Wolfgang also found out that adding kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end()
around the padlock instructions fix the oops.
Suresh wrote:
These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves
similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults
when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause
oops with the recent fpu code changes.
This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem:
a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between
start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary()
b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is
cleared.
c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt
routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as
cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is
in the task's xstate.
d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does
free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while
the TS_USEDFPU is still set.
e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task,
we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null.
This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to()
Now:
1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered
similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT.
2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because
kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the
situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above.
3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious
math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's
math state was always in an allocated state.
With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops,
there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example,
while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy
page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock
instructions generating DNA fault).
This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation
changes:
0. CPU's TS flag is set
1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing
kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts()
2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we
take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set.
3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts
4. We complete the padlock routine
5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes
the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point,
we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll
set and not cleared.
6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context
switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set
and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu()
will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are
in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will
restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state.
Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task
but take a DNA fault for the prev task.
This causes the fpu leakage.
Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the
context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts
manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA
in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and
the possible FPU leakage issue.

when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause
oops with the recent fpu code changes.
This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem:
a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between
start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary()
b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is
cleared.
c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt
routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as
cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is
in the task's xstate.
d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does
free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while
the TS_USEDFPU is still set.
e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task,
we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null.
This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to()
Now:
1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered
similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT.
2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because
kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the
situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above.
3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious
math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's
math state was always in an allocated state.
With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops,
there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example,
while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy
page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock
instructions generating DNA fault).
This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation
changes:
0. CPU's TS flag is set
1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing
kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts()
2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we
take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set.
3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts
4. We complete the padlock routine
5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes
the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point,
we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll
set and not cleared.
6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context
switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set
and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu()
will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are
in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will
restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state.
Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task
but take a DNA fault for the prev task.
This causes the fpu leakage.
Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the
context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts
manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA
in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and
the possible FPU leakage issue.

i387: fix x86-64 preemption-unsafe user stack save/restore
Commit 5b1cbac37798 ("i387: make irq_fpu_usable() tests more robust")
added a sanity check to the #NM handler to verify that we never cause
the "Device Not Available" exception in kernel mode.
However, that check actually pinpointed a (fundamental) race where we do
cause that exception as part of the signal stack FPU state save/restore
code.
Because we use the floating point instructions themselves to save and
restore state directly from user mode, we cannot do that atomically with
testing the TS_USEDFPU bit: the user mode access itself may cause a page
fault, which causes a task switch, which saves and restores the FP/MMX
state from the kernel buffers.
This kind of "recursive" FP state save is fine per se, but it means that
when the signal stack save/restore gets restarted, it will now take the
'#NM' exception we originally tried to avoid. With preemption this can
happen even without the page fault - but because of the user access, we
cannot just disable preemption around the save/restore instruction.
There are various ways to solve this, including using the
"enable/disable_page_fault()" helpers to not allow page faults at all
during the sequence, and fall back to copying things by hand without the
use of the native FP state save/restore instructions.
However, the simplest thing to do is to just allow the #NM from kernel
space, but fix the race in setting and clearing CR0.TS that this all
exposed: the TS bit changes and the TS_USEDFPU bit absolutely have to be
atomic wrt scheduling, so while the actual state save/restore can be
interrupted and restarted, the act of actually clearing/setting CR0.TS
and the TS_USEDFPU bit together must not.
Instead of just adding random "preempt_disable/enable()" calls to what
is already excessively ugly code, this introduces some helper functions
that mostly mirror the "kernel_fpu_begin/end()" functionality, just for
the user state instead.
Those helper functions should probably eventually replace the other
ad-hoc CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU tests too, but I'll need to think about it
some more: the task switching functionality in particular needs to
expose the difference between the 'prev' and 'next' threads, while the
new helper functions intentionally were written to only work with
'current'.

i387: move TS_USEDFPU flag from thread_info to task_struct
This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the
FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own
(called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu.
This fixes two independent bugs at the same time:
- changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty
problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to
be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was
supposed to indicate).
So perfectly valid code could (and did) do
ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK;
and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store
instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task
switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The
change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store.
In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field
was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to
generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus
happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low
fat and preemption-safe.
- On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts
and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because
x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the
separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd
thread_info copy aliases.
This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to
look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at
interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the
heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel
away the FPU state.
(It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers).
It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural
for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they
tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie
scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is
found there too.

Commit 5b1cbac37798 ("i387: make irq_fpu_usable() tests more robust")
added a sanity check to the #NM handler to verify that we never cause
the "Device Not Available" exception in kernel mode.
However, that check actually pinpointed a (fundamental) race where we do
cause that exception as part of the signal stack FPU state save/restore
code.
Because we use the floating point instructions themselves to save and
restore state directly from user mode, we cannot do that atomically with
testing the TS_USEDFPU bit: the user mode access itself may cause a page
fault, which causes a task switch, which saves and restores the FP/MMX
state from the kernel buffers.
This kind of "recursive" FP state save is fine per se, but it means that
when the signal stack save/restore gets restarted, it will now take the
'#NM' exception we originally tried to avoid. With preemption this can
happen even without the page fault - but because of the user access, we
cannot just disable preemption around the save/restore instruction.
There are various ways to solve this, including using the
"enable/disable_page_fault()" helpers to not allow page faults at all
during the sequence, and fall back to copying things by hand without the
use of the native FP state save/restore instructions.
However, the simplest thing to do is to just allow the #NM from kernel
space, but fix the race in setting and clearing CR0.TS that this all
exposed: the TS bit changes and the TS_USEDFPU bit absolutely have to be
atomic wrt scheduling, so while the actual state save/restore can be
interrupted and restarted, the act of actually clearing/setting CR0.TS
and the TS_USEDFPU bit together must not.
Instead of just adding random "preempt_disable/enable()" calls to what
is already excessively ugly code, this introduces some helper functions
that mostly mirror the "kernel_fpu_begin/end()" functionality, just for
the user state instead.
Those helper functions should probably eventually replace the other
ad-hoc CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU tests too, but I'll need to think about it
some more: the task switching functionality in particular needs to
expose the difference between the 'prev' and 'next' threads, while the
new helper functions intentionally were written to only work with
'current'.

i387: move TS_USEDFPU flag from thread_info to task_struct
This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the
FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own
(called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu.
This fixes two independent bugs at the same time:
- changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty
problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to
be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was
supposed to indicate).
So perfectly valid code could (and did) do
ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK;
and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store
instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task
switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The
change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store.
In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field
was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to
generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus
happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low
fat and preemption-safe.
- On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts
and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because
x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the
separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd
thread_info copy aliases.
This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to
look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at
interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the
heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel
away the FPU state.
(It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers).
It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural
for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they
tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie
scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is
found there too.

i387: re-introduce FPU state preloading at context switch time
After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that
caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the
preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870ef3ff ("i387:
do not preload FPU state at task switch time").
However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements
preloading with several fixes, most notably
- properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as
open-coded save and restore with various hacks.
In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us
to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the
TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses
are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for
no good reason.
- Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so
that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the
way they save and restore segment state differently due to
architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state.
- Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines,
and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing
else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on
the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just
re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit.
That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the
infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use
'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the
state saving also trashes the state.
In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving,
rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to
follow as a result.
