Commit 672365477ae8 ("x86/fpu: Update XFD state where required") and
commit 8bf26758ca96 ("x86/fpu: Add XFD state to fpstate") introduced a
per_cpu variable xfd_state to keep the IA32_XFD MSR value cached. In
order to avoid unnecessary writes to the MSR.
xfd_state might not be always synced with the MSR. Eventually affecting
MSR writes. xfd_state is initialized with 0, meanwhile the MSR is
initialized with the XFEATURE_MASK_USER_DYNAMIC to make XFD fire. Then
later on reschedule to a different CPU, when a process that uses extended
xfeatures and handled the #NM (by allocating the additional space in task's
fpstate for extended xfeatures) it will skip the MSR update in
restore_fpregs_from_fpstate because the value might match to already cached
xfd_state (meanwhile it is not the same with the MSR). Eventually calling a
XRSTOR to set the new state (that caries extended xfeatures) and fire a #NM
from kernel context. The XFD is expected to fire from user-space context,
but not in this case and the kernel crashes.
To address the issue mentioned initialize xfd_state with the current MSR
value and update the XFD MSR always with xfd_update_state to avoid
un-sync cases.

The above comment didn't _quite_ make it into the context, so I'll paste
it here for your convenience:

Translating there, "the dynamic state static key" means
'__fpu_state_size_dynamic' which is used here:

You might recognize fpu_state_size_dynamic() from the first line of
xfd_update_state(), the function that you added to the above hunk.
Which brings me to ask what the point of calling xfd_update_state() is
in the first place if you're getting away with it not working on the
boot CPU.
Why not just short-circuit the (non-working) xfd_update_state() and do
this directly:
wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_XFD, init_fpstate.xfd);
__this_cpu_write(xfd_state, init_fpstate.xfd);
I don't think you even need to *READ* the MSR. You're going to blow it
away anyway.

I'm completely confused.
So after reading the patch I think I know what you are trying to
explain:
On CPU hotplug MSR_IA32_XFD is reset to the init_fpstate.xfd, which
wipes out any stale state. But the per CPU cached xfd value is not
reset, which brings them out of sync.
As a consequence a subsequent xfd_update_state() might fail to update
the MSR which in turn can result in XRSTOR raising a #NM in kernel
space, which crashes the kernel.
Right?

This does not compile on 32bit. You want something like the uncompiled

On suspend per CPU xfd_state == current->thread.fpu.fpstate->xfd so it's
correct to restore the exact state which was active _before_ suspend.
xfd_state can't be out of sync in that case, no?

How is that supposed to work?
this_cpu(xfd_state) == current->thread.fpu.fpstate->xfd
So the MSR write won't happen.

xfd_update_state() here is not a right choice as Thomas pointed out
multiple times.

Indeed! But, looking around the code, writing 'xfd_state' here appears
to be consistent and logical I suppose.
Every time writing the MSR in the kernel (except for the init), the
value is saved in 'xfd_state'. So we don't do it on the sleep path.
Then, on the wake-up path, perhaps it makes sense to restore the context
with the saved.
Thanks,

With this test -- which I may follow up to be included the AMX selftest:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
Thanks,
Chang
Adamos found the issue with the cached XFD state [1]. Although the XFD
state is reset on the CPU hotplug, the per-CPU XFD cache is missing
the reset. Then, running an AMX thread there, the staled value causes
the kernel crash to kill the thread.
This is reproducible when moving an AMX thread to the hot-plugged CPU.
So, add a test case to ensure no issue with that.
It repeats the test due to possible inconsistencies. Then, along with
the hotplug cost, it will bring a noticeable runtime increase. But,
the overall test has a quick turnaround time.

The overall x86 selftest via "$ make TARGETS='x86' kselftest" takes
about 3.5 -> 5.5 seconds. 'amx_64' itself took about 1.5 more seconds
over 0.x seconds.
But, this overall runtime still takes in a matter of some seconds,
which should be fine I thought.

Commit 672365477ae8 ("x86/fpu: Update XFD state where required") and
commit 8bf26758ca96 ("x86/fpu: Add XFD state to fpstate") introduced a
per CPU variable xfd_state to keep the MSR_IA32_XFD value cached. In
order to avoid unnecessary writes to the MSR.
On CPU hotplug MSR_IA32_XFD is reset to the init_fpstate.xfd, which
wipes out any stale state. But the per CPU cached xfd value is not
reset, which brings them out of sync.
As a consequence a subsequent xfd_update_state() might fail to update
the MSR which in turn can result in XRSTOR raising a #NM in kernel
space, which crashes the kernel.
To address the issue mentioned, initialize xfd_state together with
MSR_IA32_XFD.

V4 <- V3: No code changes, just a minor tweak in the changelog:
* Adjust the patch subject prefix to align with the preferred format for
'tip' [1], 'x86: fpu:' -> 'x86/fpu:'
* Add a few more commit tags.
It appears that the issue is predominantly exposed during the execution
of synthetic test cases, such as concurrent AMX operations with CPU
hotplug tests (e.g., 'stress-ng --cpu-online' [2]). While this might be
seen as a corner case, it has been a recurring failure during hardware
validation, leading to confusion regarding the source of the problem.
I considered updating the AMX test like this [3]. But, the change
introduced side effects, adding about 2 more seconds to run the test.
Also, running AMX concurrently with aggressively on-/off-lining of CPUs
doesn't seem to align well typical usage scenarios that warrant testing.
Nonetheless, I'm open to add this test if it's deemed necessary.

x86/fpu: Keep xfd_state in sync with MSR_IA32_XFD
Commit 672365477ae8 ("x86/fpu: Update XFD state where required") and
commit 8bf26758ca96 ("x86/fpu: Add XFD state to fpstate") introduced a
per CPU variable xfd_state to keep the MSR_IA32_XFD value cached, in
order to avoid unnecessary writes to the MSR.
On CPU hotplug MSR_IA32_XFD is reset to the init_fpstate.xfd, which
wipes out any stale state. But the per CPU cached xfd value is not
reset, which brings them out of sync.
As a consequence a subsequent xfd_update_state() might fail to update
the MSR which in turn can result in XRSTOR raising a #NM in kernel
space, which crashes the kernel.
To fix this, introduce xfd_set_state() to write xfd_state together
with MSR_IA32_XFD, and use it in all places that set MSR_IA32_XFD.
