From 91a8c2a5b43fc4be4adb4bda50cd331697e289e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 10:49:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Clean up and fix MXCSR handling The code has the following problems: - it uses a single global 'fx_scratch' area that multiple CPUs could write into simultaneously, in theory. - it wastes 512 bytes of .data for something that is only rarely used. Fix this by moving the state buffer to the stack. Note that while this is 512 bytes, we don't ever call this function in very deep callchains, so its stack usage should not be a problem. Also add comments to explain the magic 0x0000ffbf default value. Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: H.
