commit 5e1d824f9a283cbf90f25241b66d1f69adb3835b upstream. During floating point and vector save to thread data f0/vs0 are clobbered by the FPSCR/VSCR store routine. This has been obvserved to lead to userspace register corruption and application data corruption with io-uring. Fix it by restoring f0/vs0 after FPSCR/VSCR store has completed for all the FP, altivec, VMX register save paths. Tested under QEMU in kvm mode, running on a Talos II workstation with dual POWER9 DD2.2 CPUs. Additional detail (mpe): Typically save_fpu() is called from __giveup_fpu() which saves the FP regs and also *turns off FP* in the tasks MSR, meaning the kernel will reload the FP regs from the thread struct before letting the task use FP again. So in that case save_fpu() is free to clobber f0 because the FP regs no longer hold live values for the task. There is another case though, which is the path via: sys_clone() ... copy_process() dup_task_struct() arch_dup_task_struct() flush_all_to_thread() save_all() That path saves the FP regs but leaves them live. That's meant as an optimisation for a process that's using FP/VSX and then calls fork(), leaving the regs live means the parent process doesn't have to take a fault after the fork to get its FP regs back. The optimisation was added in commit |
