commit 4ecd16ec7059390b430af34bd8bc3ca2b5dcef9a upstream.

Systems without an FPU are generally old and therefore use lazy FPU
switching. Unsurprisingly, math emulation in eager FPU mode is a
bit buggy. Fix it.

There were two bugs involving kernel code trying to use the FPU
registers in eager mode even if they didn't exist and one BUG_ON()
that was incorrect.

<title>x86/fpu: Fix FNSAVE usage in eagerfpu mode</title>

commit 5ed73f40735c68d8a656b46d09b1885d3b8740ae upstream.

In eager fpu mode, having deactivated FPU without immediately
reloading some other context is illegal.  Therefore, to recover from
FNSAVE, we can't just deactivate the state -- we need to reload it
if we're not actively context switching.

We had this wrong in fpu__save() and fpu__copy().  Fix both.
__kernel_fpu_begin() was fine -- add a comment.

This fixes a warning triggerable with nofxsr eagerfpu=on.

commit ca6938a1cd8a1c5e861a99b67f84ac166fc2b9e7 upstream.

Since commit:

  58122bf1d856 ("x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs")

... in Linux 4.6, eager FPU mode has been the default on all x86
systems, and no one has reported any regressions.

This patch removes the ability to enable lazy mode: use_eager_fpu()
becomes "return true" and all of the FPU mode selection machinery is
removed.

<title>x86/fpu: Fix eager-FPU handling on legacy FPU machines</title>

commit 6e6867093de35141f0a76b66ac13f9f2e2c8e77a upstream.

i486 derived cores like Intel Quark support only the very old,
legacy x87 FPU (FSAVE/FRSTOR, CPUID bit FXSR is not set), and
our FPU code wasn't handling the saving and restoring there
properly in the 'eagerfpu' case.

So after we made eagerfpu the default for all CPU types:

  58122bf1d856 x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs

these old FPU designs broke. First, Andy Shevchenko reported a splat:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 823 at arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/internal.h:163 fpu__clear+0x8c/0x160

which was us trying to execute FXRSTOR on those machines even though
they don't support it.

After taking care of that, Bryan O'Donoghue reported that a simple FPU
test still failed because we weren't initializing the FPU state properly
on those machines.

Take care of all that.

commit a65050c6f17e52442716138d48d0a47301a8344b upstream.

Leonid Shatz noticed that the SDM interpretation of the following
recent commit:

  394db20ca240741 ("x86/fpu: Disable AVX when eagerfpu is off")

... is incorrect and that the original behavior of the FPU code was correct.

Because AVX is not stated in CR0 TS bit description, it was mistakenly
believed to be not supported for lazy context switch. This turns out
to be false:

  Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 3A, Sec. 2.5 Control Registers:

   'TS Task Switched bit (bit 3 of CR0) -- Allows the saving of the x87 FPU/
    MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 context on a task switch to be delayed until
    an x87 FPU/MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 instruction is actually executed
    by the new task.'

  Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 2A, Sec. 2.4 Instruction Exception
  Specification:

   'AVX instructions refer to exceptions by classes that include #NM
    "Device Not Available" exception for lazy context switch.'

So revert the commit.

commit f363938c70a04e6bc99023a5e0c44ef7879b903f upstream.

After fixing FPU option parsing, we now parse the 'no387' boot option
too early: no387 clears X86_FEATURE_FPU before it's even probed, so
the boot CPU promptly re-enables it.

I suspect it gets even more confused on SMP.

Fix the probing code to leave X86_FEATURE_FPU off if it's been
disabled by setup_clear_cpu_cap().

<title>x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs</title>

commit 58122bf1d856a4ea9581d62a07c557d997d46a19 upstream.

We have eager and lazy FPU modes, introduced in:

  304bceda6a18 ("x86, fpu: use non-lazy fpu restore for processors supporting xsave")

The result is rather messy.  There are two code paths in almost all
of the FPU code, and only one of them (the eager case) is tested
frequently, since most kernel developers have new enough hardware
that we use eagerfpu.

It seems that, on any remotely recent hardware, eagerfpu is a win:
glibc uses SSE2, so laziness is probably overoptimistic, and, in any
case, manipulating TS is far slower that saving and restoring the
full state.  (Stores to CR0.TS are serializing and are poorly
optimized.)

To try to shake out any latent issues on old hardware, this changes
the default to eager on all CPUs.  If no performance or functionality
problems show up, a subsequent patch could remove lazy mode entirely.

<title>x86/fpu: Disable AVX when eagerfpu is off</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 394db20ca240741a08d472173db13d6f6a6e5a28 upstream.

When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
should disable AVX support.

The Task Switched bit used for lazy context switching does not
support AVX. If AVX is enabled without eagerfpu context
switching, one task's AVX state could become corrupted or leak
to other tasks. This is a bug and has bad security implications.

This only affects systems that have AVX/AVX2/AVX512 and this
issue will be found only when one actually uses AVX/AVX2/AVX512
_AND_ does eagerfpu=off.

Reference: Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 3A

Sec. 2.5 Control Registers:
TS Task Switched bit (bit 3 of CR0) -- Allows the saving of the
x87 FPU/ MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 context on a task switch
to be delayed until an x87 FPU/MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4
instruction is actually executed by the new task.

Sec. 13.4.1 Using the TS Flag to Control the Saving of the X87
FPU and SSE State
When the TS flag is set, the processor monitors the instruction
stream for x87 FPU, MMX, SSE instructions. When the processor
detects one of these instructions, it raises a
device-not-available exeception (#NM) prior to executing the
instruction.

<title>x86/fpu: Disable MPX when eagerfpu is off</title>

commit a5fe93a549c54838063d2952dd9643b0b18aa67f upstream.

This issue is a fallout from the command-line parsing move.

When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
should disable MPX support. The decision for turning off MPX was
made in fpu__init_system_ctx_switch(), which is after the
selection of the XSAVE format. This patch fixes it by getting
that decision done earlier in fpu__init_system_xstate().

commit 362f924b64ba0f4be2ee0cb697690c33d40be721 upstream.

Those are stupid and code should use static_cpu_has_safe() or
boot_cpu_has() instead. Kill the least used and unused ones.

The remaining ones need more careful inspection before a conversion can
happen. On the TODO.
