Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 10/10] x86/xsaves: Re-enable XSAVES
Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 15:41:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <572A7AAD.5040201@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <fa1efcfe34e0953385377d567d28bb2ef13fd3c6.1457038929.git.yu-cheng.yu@intel.com>
It's my fault, but you also need to go update
fpu__xfeature_set_state()
and
__raw_xsave_addr()
The theoretical problem is that you might ask for a __raw_xsave_addr()
of a component which has been compacted out of an XSAVES buffer and thus
has no address. We could work around this by doing a memmove() and
moving the components "up" after the one we are trying to set in order
to make space.
But, since we *always* call XSAVES with an instruction mask of -1 and
end up with a requested feature bitmap (RFBM) equal to XCR0, I think we
can do a shortcut because we'll practically *always* have an
xcomp_bv==RFBM==XCR0, which means that all (present) components will
always have an address.
So, the alternative to doing the memmove() is to add some WARN_ON_FPU()
checks to enforce xcomp_bv==RFBM==XCR0 in places where we call
XSAVES/XRSTORS and __raw_xsave_addr(), maybe more.
