Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Ensure XFD state on signal delivery
Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2025 17:16:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250610001700.4097-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
Sean reported [1] the following splat when running KVM tests:
WARNING: CPU: 232 PID: 15391 at xfd_validate_state+0x65/0x70
Call Trace:
<TASK>
fpu__clear_user_states+0x9c/0x100
arch_do_signal_or_restart+0x142/0x210
exit_to_user_mode_loop+0x55/0x100
do_syscall_64+0x205/0x2c0
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
Chao further identified [2] a reproducible scenarios involving signal
delivery: a non-AMX task is preempted by an AMX-enabled task which
modifies the XFD MSR.
When the non-AMX task resumes and reloads XSTATE with init values,
a warning is triggered due to a mismatch between fpstate::xfd and the
CPU's current XFD state. fpu__clear_user_states() does not currently
re-synchronize the XFD state after such preemption.
Invoke xfd_update_state() which detects and corrects the mismatch if the
dynamic feature is enabled.
This also benefits the sigreturn path, as fpu__restore_sig() may call
fpu__clear_user_states() when the sigframe is inaccessible.
