While running my acceptance tests, in one case I got one CPU whose xcr0
had leaked into the host. This showed up as a SIGILL in strncasecmp's
AVX code, and a simple program confirmed it:
$ cat xgetbv.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
unsigned xcr0_h, xcr0_l;
asm("xgetbv" : "=d"(xcr0_h), "=a"(xcr0_l) : "c"(0));
printf("%08x:%08x\n", xcr0_h, xcr0_l);
}
$ gcc xgetbv.c -O2
$ for i in `seq 0 55`; do echo $i `taskset -c $i ./a.out`; done|grep -v 007
19 00000000:00000003
I'm going to rerun the tests without this patch, as it seems the most
likely culprit, and leave it out of the pull request if they pass.
