Subject: [PATCH -v2] x86, math-emu: fix init_fpu for task != current
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2009 19:42:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1Lew31-0004il-Fg@mailer.emlix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090304175122.GA29823@elte.hu>
init_fpu calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always
works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another
process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get
a null pointer exception in finit.
This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct
parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with
current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which
would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction.
An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in
case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined.
The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining
code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.
