Subject[PATCH 3.10 22/71] MIPS: Remove BUG_ON(!is_fpu_owner()) in do_ade()
Date
3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@lemote.com>

commit 2e5767a27337812f6850b3fa362419e2f085e5c3 upstream.

In do_ade(), is_fpu_owner() isn't preempt-safe. 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. So 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.
