From 7f72cb082501852ae9ebe403efef2ebb0437ff57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H.J. Lu" Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 09:11:56 -0700 Subject: x86, fpu: correct the asm constraints for fxsave, unbreak mxcsr.daz MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit eaa5a990191d204ba0f9d35dbe5505ec2cdd1460 upstream. GCC will optimize mxcsr_feature_mask_init in arch/x86/kernel/i387.c: memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct)); asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch)); mask = fx_scratch.mxcsr_mask; if (mask == 0) mask = 0x0000ffbf; to memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct)); asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch)); mask = 0x0000ffbf; since asm statement doesn’t say it will update fx_scratch. As the result, the DAZ bit will be cleared. This patch fixes it. This bug dates back to at least kernel 2.6.12. Signed-off-by: H.
