[PATCH] crypto: x86/aes-ni: fix AVX detection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fix two semi-theoretical issues that are present.

1. AVX is assumed to be present when AVX2 is present.
 That can be false in a VM.
 This can be considered a hypervisor bug,
 but the kernel should not crash in this case if this is possible.

2. YMM state can be soft disabled in XCR0.

Fix both issues by using 'cpu_has_xfeatures(XFEATURE_MASK_YMM')
to check for usable AVX support.

Fixes: d764593af9249 ("crypto: aesni - AVX and AVX2 version of AESNI-GCM encode and decode")
