Linux 3.2: FPU Issue in execve with Intel E5-2620v3 and E7-4880v2

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

 



Dear Kernel Hackers,

I'm Jason Cai, a kernel developer from Dell EMC. I hit the same issue as the
one Lennart Sorensen sent at Dec 19, 2016.

I narrow down the issue now. It seems that an unexpected DNA 
(Device not Available) may be triggered in the `execve` code path.
Specifically, it exists between `setup_new_exec()` and `start_thread()` in
file `load_elf_binary()`.

I've added a BUG_ON() just before `start_thread` in `load_elf_binary ` to 
assert the fpu status of the current process descriptor should be clean
when performing an exec. It gets triggered and the stack is as the following:

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

The kernel codes I'm testing are the same as the stable branch linux-3.2.y
AFAIK, there is no FPU instructions between `setup_new_exec()` and 
`start_thread() ` in `load_elf_binary()`.

The BUG_ON() codes are as the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if ((current->thread.has_fpu) || current->fpu_counter || tsk_used_math(current)) {
     // printk some status related to FPU ...
    BUG_ON(1);
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe the quick fix is that simply doesn't free the FPU state in `start_thread_common`.

Last but not least, by now, this issues can only be seen on the systems armed
with Intel E5-2620v3 and E7-4880v2.

Thus, I'm still wondering whether it's possible a CPU issue or something else? 
How can I verify it?

I would greatly appreciate if you kindly give me some feedback.

Best regards,
Jason Cai
