In do_ade(), is_fpu_owner() isn't preempt-reliable. For example, when an unaligned ldc1 is executed, do_cpu() is called and then FPU will be enabled (and TIF_USEDFPU will be set for the current process). Then, do_ade() is called because the access is unaligned. If the current process is preempted at this time, TIF_USEDFPU will be cleard. When the process is scheduled again, BUG_ON(!is_fpu_owner()) is triggered. This small program can trigger this BUG in a preemptible kernel: -- int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { double u64[2]; while (1) { asm volatile ( ".set push \n\t" ".set noreorder \n\t" "ldc1 $f3, 4(%0) \n\t" ".set pop \n\t" ::"r"(u64): ); } return 0; } -- V2: Remove the BUG_ON() unconditionally due to Paul's suggestion.
