This is very heavily based on some code from Thomas Gleixner. On a system
without XSAVES, it triggers the WARN_ON():

Bad FPU state detected at copy_kernel_to_fpregs+0x2f/0x40, reinitializing FPU registers.

That triggers

[ 149.497274] corrupt_xstate_[1627] bad frame in rt_sigreturn frame:00000000dad08ab1 ip:7f031449ffe1 sp:7ffd0c5c59f0 orax:ffffffffffffffff in libpthread-2.31.so[7f0314493000+10000]

on an AMD laptop here.

Yes, that's the ratelimited printk in the signal code.

+static inline void __cpuid(unsigned int *eax, unsigned int *ebx,
+ unsigned int *ecx, unsigned int *edx)
+{
+ asm volatile(
+ "cpuid;"
+ : "=a" (*eax),
+ "=b" (*ebx),
+ "=c" (*ecx),
+ "=d" (*edx)
+ : "0" (*eax), "2" (*ecx));
+}
+
+static inline int xsave_enabled(void)
+{
+ unsigned int eax, ebx, ecx, edx;
+
+ eax = 0x1;
+ ecx = 0x0;
+ __cpuid(&eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx);
+
+ /* Is CR4.OSXSAVE enabled ? */
+ return ecx & (1U << 27);
+}

One fine day someone should sit down and unify all those auxillary
functions used in the selftests into a lib...

Yes please. Shuah, that would be a great newcomer task...


Yes. I will add to newcomer task list.

thanks,
