[PATCH 3.16 06/19] MIPS: init upper 64b of vector registers when MSA is first used

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

 



3.16.43-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c9017757c532d48bf43d6e7d3b7282443ad4207b upstream.

When a task first makes use of MSA we need to ensure that the upper
64b of the vector registers are set to some value such that no
information can be leaked to it from the previous task to use MSA
context on the CPU. The architecture formerly specified that these
bits would be cleared to 0 when a scalar FP instructions wrote to the
aliased FP registers, which would have implicitly handled this as the
kernel restored scalar FP context. However more recent versions of the
specification now state that the value of the bits in such cases is
unpredictable. Initialise them explictly to be sure, and set all the
bits to 1 rather than 0 for consistency with the least significant
64b.
