[PATCH v3 09/10] x86/fpu/xstate: Preserve supervisor states for slow path of __fpu__restore_sig()

From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Mon May 11 2020 - 16:17:20 EST


The signal return code is responsible for taking an XSAVE buffer present
in user memory and loading it into the hardware registers. This
operation only affects user XSAVE state and never affects supervisor state.

The fast path through this code simply points XRSTOR directly at the
user buffer. However, since user memory is not guaranteed to be always
mapped, this XRSTOR can fail. If it fails, the signal return code falls
back to a slow path which can tolerate page faults.

That slow path copies the xfeatures one by one out of the user buffer
into the task's fpu state area. However, by being in a context where it
can handle page faults, the code can also schedule. The lazy-fpu-load code
would think it has an up-to-date fpstate and would fail to save the
supervisor state when scheduling the task out. When scheduling back in, it
would likely restore stale supervisor state.

To fix that, preserve supervisor state before the slow path. Modify
copy_user_to_fpregs_zeroing() so that if it fails, fpregs are not zeroed,
and there is no need for fpregs_deactivate() and supervisor states are
preserved.

Move set_thread_flag(TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD) to the slow path. Without doing
this, the fast path also needs supervisor states to be saved first.
