[PATCH] x86/fpu: Load xsave pointer *after* initialization
From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Thu Apr 16 2015 - 14:07:44 EST
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>
So I was playing with gdb today and did this simple thing:
gdb /bin/ls
...
(gdb) run
Box exploded with the splat at the end because we do cache
&target->thread.fpu.state->xsave into the local variable xsave but
that pointer is NULL at that time and it gets initialized later, in
init_fpu(), see
e7f180dcd8ab ("x86/fpu: Change xstateregs_get()/set() to use
->xsave.i387 rather than ->fxsave")
Fix is simple: load xsave *after* init_fpu() has run.
