Merge branch 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fpu fixes and cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
"This is _way_ more cleanups than fixes, but the bugs were subtle and
hard to hit, and the primary reason for them existing was the
unnecessary historical complexity of some of the x86/fpu interfaces.
The first bunch of commits clean up and simplify the xstate user copy
handling functions, in reaction to the collective head-scratching
about the xstate user-copy handling code that leads up to the fix for
this SkyLake xstate handling bug:
0852b374173b: x86/fpu: Add FPU state copying quirk to handle XRSTOR failure on Intel Skylake CPUs
The cleanups don't change any functionality, they just (hopefully)
make it all clearer, more consistent, more debuggable and more robust.
Note that most of the linecount increase comes from these commits,
where we better split the user/kernel copy logic by having more
variants, instead repeated fragile patterns of:
if (kbuf) {
memcpy(kbuf + pos, data, copy);
} else {
if (__copy_to_user(ubuf + pos, data, copy))
return -EFAULT;
}
The next bunch of commits simplify the FPU state-machine to get rid of
old lazy-FPU idiosyncrasies - a defensive simplification to make all
the code easier to review and fix. No change in functionality.
Then there's a couple of additional debugging tweaks: static checker
warning fix and move an FPU related warning to under WARN_ON_FPU(),
followed by another bunch of commits that represent a finegrained
split-up of the fixes from Eric Biggers to handle weird xstate bits
properly.
I did this finegrained split-up because some of these fixes also
impact the ABI for weird xstate handling, for which we'd like to have
good bisection results, should they cause any problems. (We also had
one regression with the more monolithic fixes, so splitting it all up
sounded prudent for robustness reasons as well.)
About the whole series: the commits up to 03eaec81ac09 have been in
-next for months - but I've recently rebased them to remove a state
machine clean-up commit that was objected to, and to make it more
bisectable - so technically it's a new, rebased tree.
Robustness history: this series had some regressions along the way,
and all reported regressions have been fixed. All but one of the
regressions manifested itself as easy to report warnings. The previous
version of this latest series was also in linux-next, with one
(warning-only) regression reported which is fixed in the latest
version.
Barring last minute brown paper bag bugs (and the commits are now
older by a day which I'd hope helps paperbag reduction), I'm
reasonably confident about its general robustness.
Famous last words ..."
