Re: [PATCH 4/8] x86/traps: Demand-populate PASID MSR via #GP

Moving beyond pseudo-code and into compiles-but-probably-broken-code.


The intent of the functions below is that Fenghua should be able to
do:

void fpu__pasid_write(u32 pasid)
{
u64 msr_val = pasid | MSR_IA32_PASID_VALID;
struct ia32_pasid_state *addr;

addr = begin_update_one_xsave_feature(current, XFEATURE_PASID, true);
addr->pasid = msr_val;
finish_update_one_xsave_feature(current);
}

So here's the two new functions that would be added to
arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c

----

void *begin_update_one_xsave_feature(struct task_struct *tsk,
enum xfeature xfeature, bool full)
{
struct xregs_state *xsave = &tsk->thread.fpu.state.xsave;
struct xregs_state *xinit = &init_fpstate.xsave;
u64 fmask = 1ull << xfeature;
void *addr;

BUG_ON(!(xsave->header.xcomp_bv & fmask));

fpregs_lock();

addr = __raw_xsave_addr(xsave, xfeature);

if (full || tsk != current) {
memcpy(addr, __raw_xsave_addr(xinit, xfeature), xstate_sizes[xfeature]);
goto out;
}

/* could optimize some cases where xsaves() isn't fastest option */
if (!(xsave->header.xfeatures & fmask))
xsaves(xsave, fmask);

out:
xsave->header.xfeatures |= fmask;
return addr;
}

void finish_update_one_xsave_feature(struct task_struct *tsk)
{
set_ti_thread_flag(task_thread_info(tsk), TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD);
fpregs_unlock();
}
