Subject: [PATCH 3/8] x86/fpu: Make task_struct::thread constant size
Date: Wed,  9 Apr 2025 23:11:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250409211127.3544993-4-mingo@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250409211127.3544993-1-mingo@kernel.org>

Turn thread.fpu into a pointer. Since most FPU code internals work by passing
around the FPU pointer already, the code generation impact is small.

This allows us to remove the old kludge of task_struct being variable size:

  struct task_struct {

       ...
       /*
        * New fields for task_struct should be added above here, so that
        * they are included in the randomized portion of task_struct.
        */
       randomized_struct_fields_end

       /* CPU-specific state of this task: */
       struct thread_struct            thread;

       /*
        * WARNING: on x86, 'thread_struct' contains a variable-sized
        * structure.  It *MUST* be at the end of 'task_struct'.
        *
        * Do not put anything below here!
        */
  };

... which creates a number of problems, such as requiring thread_struct to be
the last member of the struct - not allowing it to be struct-randomized, etc.

But the primary motivation is to allow the decoupling of task_struct from
hardware details (<asm/processor.h> in particular), and to eventually allow
the per-task infrastructure:

   DECLARE_PER_TASK(type, name);
   ...
   per_task(current, name) = val;

... which requires task_struct to be a constant size struct.

The fpu_thread_struct_whitelist() quirk to hardened usercopy can be removed,
now that the FPU structure is not embedded in the task struct anymore, which
reduces text footprint a bit.
