This leads to crashes of applications runnning inside kvm, as most of the programs in use nowdays are using FPU registers for backing of general register content. Fix is upstream: author Sven Schnelle <sv...@linux.ibm.com> 2020-11-20 14:17:52 +0100 committer Heiko Carstens <h...@linux.ibm.com> 2020-11-23 11:52:13 +0100 commit 1179f170b6f0af7bb0b3b7628136eaac450ddf31 (patch) tree 19e8acb64e0968b41de4899cc1315c41b002839e /arch/s390/kernel/entry.S parent 78d732e1f326f74f240d416af9484928303d9951 (diff) download linux-1179f170b6f0af7bb0b3b7628136eaac450ddf31.tar.gz s390: fix fpu restore in entry.S We need to disable interrupts in load_fpu_regs(). Otherwise an interrupt might come in after the registers are loaded, but before CIF_FPU is cleared in load_fpu_regs(). When the interrupt returns, CIF_FPU will be cleared and the registers will never be restored. The entry.S code usually saves the interrupt state in __SF_EMPTY on the stack when disabling/restoring interrupts. sie64a however saves the pointer to the sie control block in __SF_SIE_CONTROL, which references the same location. This is non-obvious to the reader. To avoid thrashing the sie control block pointer in load_fpu_regs(), move the __SIE_* offsets eight bytes after __SF_EMPTY on the stack.
