[PATCH 22/22] x86/fpu: Defer FPU state load until return to userspace
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Thu Feb 21 2019 - 06:51:11 EST
From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Defer loading of FPU state until return to userspace. This gives
the kernel the potential to skip loading FPU state for tasks that
stay in kernel mode, or for tasks that end up with repeated
invocations of kernel_fpu_begin() & kernel_fpu_end().
The __fpregs_changes_{begin|end}() section ensures that the register
remain unchanged. Otherwise a context switch or a BH could save the
registers to its FPU context and processor's FPU register would became
random if beeing modified at the same time.
KVM swaps the host/guest register on entry/exit path. I kept the flow as
is. First it ensures that the registers are loaded and then saves the
current (host) state before it loads the guest's register. The swap is
done at the very end with disabled interrupts so it should not change
anymore before theg guest is entered. The read/save version seems to be
cheaper compared to memcpy() in a micro benchmark.
Each thread gets TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD set as part of fork() / fpu__copy().
For kernel threads, this flag gets never cleared which avoids saving /
restoring the FPU state for kernel threads and during in-kernel usage of
the FPU register.
