[PATCH] x86/fpu/xstate: Fix inconsistencies in guest FPU xfeatures
From: Chao Gao
Date: Mon Mar 17 2025 - 10:03:23 EST
Guest FPUs manage vCPU FPU states. They are allocated via
fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate() and are resized in fpstate_realloc() when XFD
features are enabled.
Since the introduction of guest FPUs, there have been inconsistencies in
the kernel buffer size and xfeatures:
1.fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate() uses fpu_user_cfg since its introduction. See:
commit 69f6ed1d14c6 ("x86/fpu: Provide infrastructure for KVM FPU cleanup")
commit 36487e6228c4 ("x86/fpu: Prepare guest FPU for dynamically enabled FPU features")
2.__fpstate_reset() references fpu_kernel_cfg to set storage attributes.
3.fpu->guest_perm uses fpu_kernel_cfg, affecting fpstate_realloc().
A recent commit in the tip-tree [1] partially addressed the inconsistency
between (1) and (3) by using fpu_kernel_cfg for size calculation in (1),
but left fpu_guest->xfeatures and fpu_guest->perm still referencing
fpu_user_cfg.
The inconsistencies within fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate() and across the
mentioned functions cause confusion.
Fix them by using fpu_kernel_cfg consistently in fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate(),
except for fields related to the UABI buffer. Referencing fpu_kernel_cfg
won't impact functionalities, as
1. fpu_guest->perm is overwritten shortly in fpu_init_guest_permissions()
with fpstate->guest_perm, which already uses fpu_kernel_cfg.
2. fpu_guest->xfeatures is solely used to check if XFD features are enabled.
Including supervisor xfeatures doesn't affect the check.
