[PATCH 13/15] x86, fpu: correct and check XSAVE xstate size calculations

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Mon Aug 31 2015 - 18:30:37 EST



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Note: our xsaves support is currently broken and disabled. This
patch does not fix it, but it is an incremental improvement.
This might be useful to someone backporting the entire set of
XSAVES patches at some point, but it should not be backported
alone.

Ingo said he wanted something like this (bullets 2 and 3):

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150808091508.GB32641@xxxxxxxxx

There are currently two xsave buffer formats: standard and
compacted. The standard format is waht 'XSAVE' and 'XSAVEOPT'
produce while 'XSAVES' and 'XSAVEC' produce a compacted-formet
buffer. (The kernel never uses XSAVEC)

But, the XSAVES buffer *ALSO* contains "system state components"
which are never saved by a plain XSAVE. So, XSAVES has two
things that might make its buffer differently-sized from an
XSAVE-produced one.

The current code assumes that an XSAVES buffer's size is simply
the sum of the sizes of the (user) states which are supported.
This seems to work in most cases, but it is not consistent with
what the SDM says, and it breaks if we 'align' a component in the
buffer. The calculation is also unnecessary work since the CPU
*tells* us the size of the buffer directly.

This patch just reads the size of the buffer right out of the
CPUID leaf instead of trying to derive it.

But, blindly trusting the CPU like this is dangerous. We add
a verification pass in do_extra_xstate_size_checks() to ensure
that the size we calculate matches with what we see from the
hardware. When it comes down to it, we trust but verify the
CPU.
