Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] x86, fpu: introduce per-cpu "bool in_kernel_fpu"
Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2014 15:43:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140905134340.GA14242@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140905134325.GA14228@redhat.com>

interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle() tries to detect if kernel_fpu_begin()
is safe or not. In particular it should obviously deny the nested
kernel_fpu_begin() and this logic doesn't look clean.

If use_eager_fpu() == T we rely on a) __thread_has_fpu() check in
interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle(), and b) on the fact that _begin() does
__thread_clear_has_fpu().

Otherwise we demand that the interrupted task has no FPU if it is in
kernel mode, this works because __kernel_fpu_begin() does clts() and
interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle() checks X86_CR0_TS.

Add the per-cpu "bool in_kernel_fpu" variable, and change this code
to check/set/clear it. This allows to do some cleanups and fixes.

Note that the current code looks racy. Say, kernel_fpu_begin() right
after math_state_restore()->__thread_fpu_begin() will overwrite the
regs we are going to restore. This patch doesn't try to fix this, it
only adds a comment, but "in_kernel_fpu" can also be used to implement
kernel_fpu_disable() / kernel_fpu_enable().

The patch also moves WARN_ON_ONCE() under preempt_disable() just to
make this_cpu_read() look better, this is not really needed. And in
fact I think we should move it into __kernel_fpu_begin().
