| |
The main parts of this series are:
- Yet more bug fixes
- Simplification and removal/replacement of redundant and/or overengineered code.
- Name space cleanup as the existing names were just a permanent source of confusion.
- Clear seperation of user ABI and kernel internal state handling.
- Removal of PKRU from being XSTATE managed in the kernel because PKRU has to be eagerly restored on context switch and keeping it in sync in the xstate buffer is just pointless overhead and fragile.
The kernel still XSAVEs PKRU on context switch but the value in the buffer is not longer used and never restored from the buffer.
This still needs to be cleaned up, but the series is already 40+ patches large and the cleanup of this is not a functional problem.
The functional issues of PKRU management are fully addressed with the series as is.
It applies on top of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git master
and is also available via git:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git x86/fpu
This is a follow up to V1 which can be found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210611161523.508908024@linutronix.de
Changes vs. V1:
- Fix the broken init_fpstate initialization
- Make xstate copy to ptrace work correctly
- Sanitize the regset functions more and get rid of fpstate_sanitize_xstate().
- Addressed review comments
- Picked up tags
Thanks,
