[PATCH 1/2] arm64/sve: Flush foreign register state in sve_init_regs()

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

 



When we update the in memory register state in sve_init_regs() we neglect
to flush the task's CPU binding, meaning if the task is rescheduled to
the last CPU it ran on it is possible for the check for current state in
fpsimd_thread_switch() to falsely determine that up to date register
state is present on the CPU.  This results in it incorrectly clearing
TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE and suppress reloading.

This will also suppress the sve_user_enable() done in
fpsimd_bind_task_to_cpu() as part of return to userspace, causing
spurious SVE access traps.

Call fpsimd_flush_task_state() to invalidate the last loaded CPU
recorded in the task.
