x86/fpu: Fix FPU register read access to the current task
Bobby Powers reported the following FPU warning during ELF coredumping: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27452 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/core.c:324 fpu__activate_stopped+0x8a/0xa0() This warning unearthed an invalid assumption about fpu__activate_stopped() that I added in: 67e97fc2ec57 ("x86/fpu: Rename init_fpu() to fpu__unlazy_stopped() and add debugging check") the old init_fpu() function had an (intentional but obscure) side effect: when FPU registers are accessed for the current task, for reading, then it synchronized live in-register FPU state with the fpstate by saving it. So fix this bug by saving the FPU if we are the current task. We'll still warn in fpu__save() if this is called for not yet stopped child tasks, so the debugging check is still preserved. Also rename the function to fpu__activate_fpstate(), because it's not exclusively used for stopped tasks, but for the current task as well. ( Note that this bug calls for a cleaner separation of access-for-read and access-for-modification FPU methods, but we'll do that in separate patches. ) Reported-by: Bobby Powers <bobbypowers@gmail.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.
