Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/fpu/xstate: Prevent false-positive warning in __copy_xstate_uabi_buf()
Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 13:05:03 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230227210504.18520-2-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230227210504.18520-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

__copy_xstate_to_uabi_buf() copies either from the tasks XSAVE buffer
or from init_fpstate into the ptrace buffer. Dynamic features, like
XTILEDATA, have an all zeroes init state and are not saved in
init_fpstate, which means the corresponding bit is not set in the
xfeatures bitmap of the init_fpstate header.

But __copy_xstate_to_uabi_buf() retrieves addresses for both the tasks
xstate and init_fpstate unconditionally via __raw_xsave_addr().

So if the tasks XSAVE buffer has a dynamic feature set, then the
address retrieval for init_fpstate triggers the warning in
__raw_xsave_addr() which checks the feature bit in the init_fpstate
header.

Remove the address retrieval from init_fpstate for extended features.
They have an all zeroes init state so init_fpstate has zeros for them.
Then zeroing the user buffer for the init state is the same as copying
them from init_fpstate.

Thanks, Mingwei for detecting the issue and Thomas for explaining the
problem with the well-written description. The background and problem
sections in this changelog came from his write-up.

I acknowledge that Mingwei's patch (in the link above) can solve the
problem. But, I would rather propose this approach as it simplifies
the code which is considered good in this sensitive copy function.

This mostly zeroed init_fpstate is still useful, e.g., when copying
the init state between buffers with the same format -- like in
fpu_clone(). But, this case between different XSAVE formats looks a
bit different than that.
