linux-stable.git/arch/arm64/kernel/fpsimd.c, branch linux-3.10.y Linux kernel stable tree arm64: fix possible invalid FPSIMD initialization state 2014-01-09T20:24:26+00:00 Jiang Liu jiang.liu@huawei.com 2013-09-27T08:04:41+00:00 2bf5861acf602fe6201ac1f82955ac7283e56b6f commit 6db83cea1c975b9a102e17def7d2795814e1ae2b upstream. If context switching happens during executing fpsimd_flush_thread(), stale value in FPSIMD registers will be saved into current thread's fpsimd_state by fpsimd_thread_switch(). That may cause invalid initialization state for the new process, so disable preemption when executing fpsimd_flush_thread().

commit 6db83cea1c975b9a102e17def7d2795814e1ae2b upstream.

If context switching happens during executing fpsimd_flush_thread(),
stale value in FPSIMD registers will be saved into current thread's
fpsimd_state by fpsimd_thread_switch(). That may cause invalid
initialization state for the new process, so disable preemption
when executing fpsimd_flush_thread().

arm64: Floating point and SIMD 2012-09-17T12:42:13+00:00 Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas@arm.com 2012-03-05T11:49:32+00:00 53631b54c8704fe5de435582c82ddbc0bfabf06a This patch adds support for FP/ASIMD register bank saving and restoring during context switch and FP exception handling to generate SIGFPE. There are 32 128-bit registers and the context switching is currently done non-lazily. Benchmarks on real hardware are required before implementing lazy FP state saving/restoring.
