Subject: x86/fpu: Set X86_FEATURE_OSXSAVE feature after enabling OSXSAVE in CR4
From: Feng Tang <feng.tang@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 2c66ca3949dc701da7f4c9407f2140ae425683a5 upstream.
0-Day found a 34.6% regression in stress-ng's 'af-alg' test case, and
bisected it to commit b81fac906a8f ("x86/fpu: Move FPU initialization into
arch_cpu_finalize_init()"), which optimizes the FPU init order, and moves
the CR4_OSXSAVE enabling into a later place:
arch_cpu_finalize_init
identify_boot_cpu
identify_cpu
generic_identify
get_cpu_cap --> setup cpu capability
...
fpu__init_cpu
fpu__init_cpu_xstate
cr4_set_bits(X86_CR4_OSXSAVE);
As the FPU is not yet initialized the CPU capability setup fails to set
X86_FEATURE_OSXSAVE. Many security module like 'camellia_aesni_avx_x86_64'
depend on this feature and therefore fail to load, causing the regression.
Cure this by setting X86_FEATURE_OSXSAVE feature right after OSXSAVE
enabling.
[ tglx: Moved it into the actual BSP FPU initialization code and added a comment ]
