Subject: [PATCH v2 10/13] arm64/fpsimd: Add fpsimd_save_and_flush_current_state()
Date: Wed,  9 Apr 2025 17:40:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250409164010.3480271-11-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250409164010.3480271-1-mark.rutland@arm.com>

When the current task's FPSIMD/SVE/SME state may be live on *any* CPU in
the system, special care must be taken when manipulating that state, as
this manipulation can race with preemption and/or asynchronous usage of
FPSIMD/SVE/SME (e.g. kernel-mode NEON in softirq handlers).

Even when manipulation is is protected with get_cpu_fpsimd_context() and
get_cpu_fpsimd_context(), the logic necessary when the state is live on
the current CPU can be wildly different from the logic necessary when
the state is not live on the current CPU. A number of historical and
extant issues result from failing to handle these cases consistetntly
and/or correctly.

To make it easier to get such manipulation correct, add a new
fpsimd_save_and_flush_current_state() helper function, which ensures
that the current task's state has been saved to memory and any stale
state on any CPU has been "flushed" such that is not live on any CPU in
the system. This will allow code to safely manipulate the saved state
without risk of races.

Subsequent patches will use the new function.
