<title>x86/fpu: Fix get_xsave_addr() behavior under virtualization</title>

KVM uses the get_xsave_addr() function in a different fashion from
the native kernel, in that the 'xsave' parameter belongs to guest vcpu,
not the currently running task.

But 'xsave' is replaced with current task's (host) xsave structure, so
get_xsave_addr() will incorrectly return the bad xsave address to KVM.

Fix it so that the passed in 'xsave' address is used - as intended
originally.

<title>x86/fpu: Fix 32-bit signal frame handling</title>
<updated>2015-11-12T08:23:45+00:00</updated>

<id>ab6b52947545a5355154f64f449f97af9d05845f</id>
<content type='text'>
(This should have gone to LKML originally. Sorry for the extra
 noise, folks on the cc.)

Background:

Signal frames on x86 have two formats:

  1. For 32-bit executables (whether on a real 32-bit kernel or
     under 32-bit emulation on a 64-bit kernel) we have a
    'fpregset_t' that includes the "FSAVE" registers.

  2. For 64-bit executables (on 64-bit kernels obviously), the
     'fpregset_t' is smaller and does not contain the "FSAVE"
     state.

When creating the signal frame, we have to be aware of whether
we are running a 32 or 64-bit executable so we create the
correct format signal frame.

Problem:

save_xstate_epilog() uses 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' whenever it is
called for a 32-bit executable.  This is for real 32-bit and
ia32 emulation.

But, fpu__init_prepare_fx_sw_frame() only initializes
'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' when emulation is enabled, *NOT* for real
32-bit kernels.

This leads to really wierd situations where 32-bit programs
lose their extended state when returning from a signal handler.
The kernel copies the uninitialized (zero) 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32'
out to userspace in save_xstate_epilog().  But when returning
from the signal, the kernel errors out in check_for_xstate()
when it does not see FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 present (because it was
zeroed).  This leads to the FPU/XSAVE state being initialized.

For MPX, this leads to the most permissive state and means we
silently lose bounds violations.  I think this would also mean
that we could lose *ANY* FPU/SSE/AVX state.  I'm not sure why
no one has spotted this bug.

I believe this was broken by:

	72a671ced66d ("x86, fpu: Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels")

way back in 2012.

We now have C structures defined for each of the XSAVE state
components that we support.  This patch adds checks during our
verification pass to ensure that the CPU-provided data
enumerated in CPUID leaves matches our C structures.

If not, we warn and dump all the XSAVE CPUID leaves.

Note: this *actually* found an inconsistency with the MPX
'bndcsr' state.  The hardware pads it out differently from
our C structures.  This patch caught it and warned.

<title>x86/fpu: Check to ensure increasing-offset xstate offsets</title>

The xstate CPUID leaves enumerate where each state component is
inside the XSAVE buffer, along with the size of the entire
buffer.  Our new XSAVE sanity-checking code extrapolates an
expected _total_ buffer size by looking at the last component
that it encounters.

That method requires that the highest-numbered component also
be the one with the highest offset.  This is a pretty safe
assumption, but let's add some code to ensure it stays true.

To make this check work correctly, we also need to ensure we
only consider the offsets from enabled features because the
offset register (ebx) will return 0 on unsupported features.

This also means that we will preserve the -1's that we
initialized xstate_offsets/sizes[] with.  That will help
find bugs.

<title>x86/fpu: Correct and check XSAVE xstate size calculations</title>

<content type='text'>
Note: our xsaves support is currently broken and disabled.  This
patch does not fix it, but it is an incremental improvement.

This might be useful to someone backporting the entire set of
XSAVES patches at some point, but it should not be backported
alone.

Ingo said he wanted something like this (bullets 2 and 3):

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150808091508.GB32641@gmail.com

There are currently two xsave buffer formats: standard and
compacted.  The standard format is waht 'XSAVE' and 'XSAVEOPT'
produce while 'XSAVES' and 'XSAVEC' produce a compacted-formet
buffer.  (The kernel never uses XSAVEC)

But, the XSAVES buffer *ALSO* contains "system state components"
which are never saved by a plain XSAVE.  So, XSAVES has two
things that might make its buffer differently-sized from an
XSAVE-produced one.

The current code assumes that an XSAVES buffer's size is simply
the sum of the sizes of the (user) states which are supported.
This seems to work in most cases, but it is not consistent with
what the SDM says, and it breaks if we 'align' a component in
the buffer.  The calculation is also unnecessary work since the
CPU *tells* us the size of the buffer directly.

This patch just reads the size of the buffer right out of the
CPUID leaf instead of trying to derive it.

But, blindly trusting the CPU like this is dangerous.  We add
a verification pass in do_extra_xstate_size_checks() to ensure
that the size we calculate matches with what we see from the
hardware.  When it comes down to it, we trust but verify the
CPU.

Note: our xsaves support is currently broken and disabled.  This
patch does not fix it, but it is an incremental improvement.

This might be useful to someone backporting the entire set of
XSAVES patches at some point, but it should not be backported
alone.

Ingo said he wanted something like this (bullets 2 and 3):

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150808091508.GB32641@gmail.com

There are currently two xsave buffer formats: standard and
compacted.  The standard format is waht 'XSAVE' and 'XSAVEOPT'
produce while 'XSAVES' and 'XSAVEC' produce a compacted-formet
buffer.  (The kernel never uses XSAVEC)

But, the XSAVES buffer *ALSO* contains "system state components"
which are never saved by a plain XSAVE.  So, XSAVES has two
things that might make its buffer differently-sized from an
XSAVE-produced one.

The current code assumes that an XSAVES buffer's size is simply
the sum of the sizes of the (user) states which are supported.
This seems to work in most cases, but it is not consistent with
what the SDM says, and it breaks if we 'align' a component in
the buffer.  The calculation is also unnecessary work since the
CPU *tells* us the size of the buffer directly.

This patch just reads the size of the buffer right out of the
CPUID leaf instead of trying to derive it.

But, blindly trusting the CPU like this is dangerous.  We add
a verification pass in do_extra_xstate_size_checks() to ensure
that the size we calculate matches with what we see from the
hardware.  When it comes down to it, we trust but verify the
CPU.

<title>x86/fpu: Add xfeature_enabled() helper instead of test_bit()</title>

We currently use test_bit() in a few places to see if an
xfeature is enabled.  It ends up being a bit ugly because
'xfeatures_mask' is a u64 and test_bit wants an 'unsigned long'
so it requires a cast.  The *_bit() functions are also
techincally atomic, which we have no need for here.

So, remove the test_bit()s and replace with the new
xfeature_enabled() helper.

This also provides a central place to add a comment about the
future need to support 'system xstates'.

<title>x86/fpu: Remove 'xfeature_nr'</title>

xfeature_nr ended up being initialized too late for me to
use it in the "xsave size sanity check" patch which is
later in the series.  I tried to move around its initialization
but realized that it was just as easy to get rid of it.

We only have 9 XFEATURES.  Instead of dynamically calculating
and storing the last feature, just use the compile-time max:
XFEATURES_NR_MAX.  Note that even with 'xfeatures_nr' we can
had "holes" in the xfeatures_mask that we had to deal with.

We also change a 'leaf' variable to be a plain 'i'.  Although
it is used to grab a cpuid leaf in this one loop, all of the
other loops just use an 'i' and I find it much more obvious
to keep the naming consistent across all the similar loops.

<title>x86/fpu: Rework XSTATE_* macros to remove magic '2'</title>

<content type='text'>
The 'xstate.c' code has a bunch of references to '2'.  This
is because we have a lot more work to do for the "extended"
xstates than the "legacy" ones and state component 2 is the
first "extended" state.

This patch replaces all of the instances of '2' with
FIRST_EXTENDED_XFEATURE, which clearly explains what is
going on.

This is a logcal followon to the last patch.  It makes the
XFEATURE_MAX naming consistent with the other enum values.
This is what Ingo suggested.
