If a processor implementation discern that a processor state component is in its initialized state, it may modify the corresponding bit in the xsave header.xstate_bv as '0'. State in the memory layout setup by 'xsave' will be consistent with the bit values in the header. During signal handling, legacy applications may change the FP/SSE bits in the sigcontext memory layout without touching the FP/SSE header bits in the xsave header. So always set FP/SSE bits in the xsave header while saving the sigcontext state to the user space. During signal return, this will enable the kernel to capture any changes to the FP/SSE bits by the legacy applications which don't touch xsave headers. xsave aware apps can change the xstate_bv in the xsave header aswell as change any contents in the memory layout. xrestor as part of sigreturn will capture all the changes.

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.

ptrace has always returned only -EIO for all failures to access registers. The user_regset calls are allowed to return a more meaningful variety of errors. The REGSET_XFP calls use -ENODEV for !cpu_has_fxsr hardware. Make ptrace return the traditional -EIO instead of the error code from the user_regset call.

When I update kernel 2.6.25 from 2.6.24, gdb does not work. On 2.6.25, ptrace(PTRACE_GETFPXREGS, ...) returns ENODEV. But 2.6.24 kernel's ptrace() returns EIO. It is issue of compatibility.

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.

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.

convert_fxsr_to_user() in 2.6.24's i387_32.c did this, and convert_to_fxsr() also does the inverse, so I assume it's an oversight that it is no longer being done. [ mingo@elte.hu: we encode it this way because there's no space for the 'FPU Last Instruction Opcode' (->fop) field in the legacy user_i387_ia32_struct that PTRACE_GETFPREGS/PTRACE_SETFPREGS uses. it's probably pure legacy - i'd be surprised if any user-space relied on the FPU Last Opcode in any way. But indeed we used to do it previously so the most conservative thing is to preserve that piece of information. ] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This bug got introduced by the recent i387 merge: commit 44210111 Author: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Date: Wed Jan 30 13:31:50 2008 +0100 x86: x86 i387 user_regset Current usage of unlazy_fpu() in ptrace specific routines is wrong. unlazy_fpu() will not init fpu if the task never used math. So the ptrace calls can expose the parent tasks FPU data in some cases. Replace it with the init_fpu() which will init the math state, if the task never used math before.

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.

Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames are no longer correct. Rather than keep them up to date, just delete them, as they add no real value. Additionally: - fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c - Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM - remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from git.

It's really just a single instruction, conditional on whether the CPU supports FXSR or not, so implement it as such instead of making it a function that queries FXSR dynamically. This means that the instruction just gets automatically rewritten to the correct one at boot-time.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
