b359e8a434 x86, xsave: context switch support using xsave/xrstor
Uses xsave/xrstor (instead of traditional fxsave/fxrstor) in context switch
when available.

Introduces TS_XSAVE flag, which determine the need to use xsave/xrstor
instructions during context switch instead of the legacy fxsave/fxrstor
instructions. Thread-synchronous status word is already in L1 cache during
this code patch and thus minimizes the performance penality compared to
(cpu_has_xsave) checks.

6ffac1e90a x64, fpu: fix possible FPU leakage in error conditions

restore_fpu_checking() calls init_fpu() in error conditions.

While this is wrong(as our main intention is to clear the fpu state of
the thread), this was benign before commit 92d140e21f ("x86: fix taking
DNA during 64bit sigreturn").

Post commit 92d140e21f, live FPU registers may not belong to this
process at this error scenario.

In the error condition for restore_fpu_checking() (especially during the
64bit signal return), we are doing init_fpu(), which saves the live FPU
register state (possibly belonging to some other process context) into
the thread struct (through unlazy_fpu() in init_fpu()). This is wrong
and can leak the FPU data.

For the signal handler restore error condition in restore_i387(), clear
the fpu state present in the thread struct(before ultimately sending a
SIGSEGV for badframe).

For the paranoid error condition check in math_state_restore(), send a
SIGSEGV, if we fail to restore the state.

i386 has show_trace_log_lvl and show_stack_log_lvl, allowing
traces to be emitted with log-level annotations. This patch
introduces them to x86_64, but log_lvl is only ever set to

Make the diff between the traps_32.c and traps_64.c a bit smaller.

Change traps_32.c to look more like traps_64.c:
 - move lock information to file scope
 - split out oops_begin() and oops_end() from die()
 - increment nest counter in oops_begin

Only whitespace change in traps_64.c

No functional changes intended.

aa283f4927 x86, fpu: lazy allocation of FPU area - v5
Only allocate the FPU area when the application actually uses FPU, i.e., in the

for example: on my system after boot, there are around 300 processes, with

61c4628b53 x86, fpu: split FPU state from task struct - v5
Split the FPU save area from the task struct. This allows easy migration
of FPU context, and it's generally cleaner. It also allows the following
two optimizations:

1) only allocate when the application actually uses FPU, so in the first
lazy FPU trap. This could save memory for non-fpu using apps. Next patch
does this lazy allocation.

2) allocate the right size for the actual cpu rather than 512 bytes always.
Patches enabling xsave/xrstor support (coming shortly) will take advantage
of this.

d359752407 kgdb: fix NMI hangs
This patch fixes the hang regression with kgdb when the NMI interrupt
comes in while the master core is returning from an exception.

Adjust the NMI logic such that KGDB will not stop NMI exceptions from
occurring by in general returning NOTIFY_DONE.  It is not possible to
distinguish the debug NMI sync vs the normal NMI apic interrupt so
kgdb needs to catch the unknown NMI if it the debugger was previously
active on one of the cpus.

      x86: print which shared library/executable faulted in segfault etc. messages

the problem is that we call down_read() from an atomic context.

Solve this by returning from print_vma_addr() if the preempt count is
elevated. Update preempt_conditional_sti / preempt_conditional_cli to
unconditionally lift the preempt count even on !CONFIG_PREEMPT.

This makes it easier to pinpoint bugs to specific libraries.

And printing the offset into a mapping also always allows to find the
correct fault point in a library even with randomized mappings. Previously
there was no way to actually find the correct code address inside
the randomized mapping.

Relies on earlier patch to shorten the printk formats.

They are often now longer than 80 characters, but I think that's worth it.

aafbd7eb20 x86: make printk_address regs->ip always reliable
printk_address()'s second parameter is the reliability indication,
not the ebp. If we're printing regs->ip we're reliable by definition,
so pass a 1 here.

a25bd94964 x86: add the "print code before the trapping instruction" feature to 64 bit
The 32 bit x86 tree has a very useful feature that prints the Code: line
for the code even before the trapping instrution (and the start of the
trapping instruction is then denoted with a <>). Unfortunately, the 64 bit
x86 tree does not yet have this feature, making diagnosing backtraces harder
than needed.

This patch adds this feature in the same was as the 32 bit tree has
(including the same kernel boot parameter), and including a bugfix
to make the code use probe_kernel_address() rarther than a buggy (deadlocking)
__get_user.

80b51f310b x86: use the stack frames to get exact stack-traces for CONFIG_FRAMEPOINTER on x86-64
x86 32 bit already has this feature: This patch uses the stack frames with
frame pointer into an exact stack trace, by following the frame pointer.
This only affects kernels built with the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER config option
enabled, and greatly reduces the amount of noise in oopses.

This code uses the traditional method of doing backtraces, but if it
finds a valid frame pointer chain, will use that to show which parts
of the backtrace are reliable and which parts are not

Due to the fragility and importance of the backtrace code, this needs to
be well reviewed and well tested before merging into mainlne.

e4a94568b1 x86: turn 64 bit x86 HANDLE_STACK into print_context_stack like 32 bit has
This patch turns the x86 64 bit HANDLE_STACK macro in the backtrace code
into a function, just like 32 bit has. This is needed pre work in order to
get exact backtraces for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to work.

The function and it's arguments are not the same as 32 bit; due to the
exception/interrupt stack way of x86-64 there are a few differences.

This patch should not have any behavior changes, only code movement.

Due to the fragility and importance of the backtrace code, this needs to be
well reviewed and well tested before merging into mainlne.

bc850d6b37 x86: add the capability to print fuzzy backtraces
For enhancing the 32 bit EBP based backtracer, I need the capability
for the backtracer to tell it's customer that an entry is either
reliable or unreliable, and the backtrace printing code then needs to
print the unreliable ones slightly different.

This patch adds the basic capability, the next patch will add a user
of this capability.

053de04441 x86: get rid of _MASK flags
There's no need for the *_MASK flags (TF_MASK, IF_MASK, etc), found in
processor.h (both _32 and _64). They have a one-to-one mapping with the
EFLAGS value. This patch removes the definitions, and use the already
existent X86_EFLAGS_ version when applicable.
