Subject: [PATCH] [v2] x86/fpu: Delay instruction pointer fixup until after warning
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2025 14:01:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250624210148.97126F9E@davehans-spike.ostc.intel.com> (raw)
Changes from v1:
* Fix minor typos
* Use the more generic and standard ex_handler_default(). Had the
original code used this helper, the bug would not have been there
in the first place.

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
Right now, if XRSTOR fails a console message like this is be printed:
Bad FPU state detected at restore_fpregs_from_fpstate+0x9a/0x170, reinitializing FPU registers.
However, the text location (...+0x9a in this case) is the instruction
*AFTER* the XRSTOR. The highlighted instruction in the "Code:" dump
also points one instruction late.
The reason is that the "fixup" moves RIP up to pass the bad XRSTOR and
keep on running after returning from the #GP handler. But it does this
fixup before warning.
The resulting warning output is nonsensical because it looks like the
non-FPU-related instruction is #GP'ing.
Do not fix up RIP until after printing the warning. Do this by using
the more generic and standard ex_handler_default().
