[PATCH v3 1/9] x86/xsaves: Define and use user_xstate_size for xstate size in signal context

From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Mon Feb 29 2016 - 12:46:53 EST


If "xsaves" is enabled, kernel always uses compacted format of xsave area.
But user space still uses standard format of xsave area. Thus, xstate size
in kernel's xsave area is smaller than xstate size in user's xsave area.
The xstate in signal frame should be in standard format for user's signal
handler to access.

In no "xsaves" case, xsave area in both user space and kernel space are in
standard format. Therefore, user's and kernel's xstate sizes are equal.

In "xsaves" case, xsave area in user space is in standard format while
xsave area in kernel space is in compacted format. Therefore, kernel's
xstate size is smaller than user's xstate size.

So here is the problem: currently kernel assumes its own xstate size is
signal frame's xstate size. This is not a problem in no "xsaves" case.
It is an issue in "xsaves" case because kernel's xstate size is smaller
than user's xstate size. In fpu__alloc_mathframe(), a smaller fpstate
buffer is allocated for the standard format xstate in signal frame.
Then kernel saves only part of xstate registers into this smaller
user's fpstate buffer and user will see part of the xstate registers in
signal context. Similar issue happens after returning from signal handler:
kernel will only restore part of xstate registers from user's fpstate
buffer in signal frame.

This patch defines and uses user_xstate_size for xstate size in signal
frame. It's read from returned value in ebx from CPUID leaf 0x0D subleaf
0x0. This is maximum size required by enabled states in XCR0 and may be
different from ecx when states at the end of the xsave area are not
enabled. This value indicates the size required for XSAVE to save all
supported user states in legacy/standard format.
