x86, fpu: Extend the use of static_cpu_has_safe
It may be necessary to save and restore the FPU context during EFI runtime
system services calls. However, this may happen during boot and before
alternatives have run. Thus, we need to use static_cpu_has_safe instead.
The rationale behind the use of static_cpu_has_safe is the same as in
commit 5f8c4218148822fde6ee ("x86, fpu: Use static_cpu_has_safe

x86, fpu: Avoid FPU lazy restore after suspend
When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost.
After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running
on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context.
Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU,
so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware.
Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,
by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU
operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a
few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.

When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to

This patch adds those instructions, via alternative(), when the SMAP

x86, fpu: use non-lazy fpu restore for processors supporting xsave
Fundamental model of the current Linux kernel is to lazily init and
restore FPU instead of restoring the task state during context switch.
This changes that fundamental lazy model to the non-lazy model for
the processors supporting xsave feature.
Reasons driving this model change are:
i. Newer processors support optimized state save/restore using xsaveopt and
xrstor by tracking the INIT state and MODIFIED state during context-switch.
This is faster than modifying the cr0.TS bit which has serializing semantics.
ii. Newer glibc versions use SSE for some of the optimized copy/clear routines.
With certain workloads (like boot, kernel-compilation etc), application
completes its work with in the first 5 task switches, thus taking upto 5 #DNA
traps with the kernel not getting a chance to apply the above mentioned
pre-load heuristic.
iii. Some xstate features (like AMD's LWP feature) don't honor the cr0.TS bit
and thus will not work correctly in the presence of lazy restore. Non-lazy
state restore is needed for enabling such features.
Some data on a two socket SNB system:
* Saved 20K DNA exceptions during boot on a two socket SNB system.
* Saved 50K DNA exceptions during kernel-compilation workload.
* Improved throughput of the AVX based checksumming function inside the
kernel by ~15% as xsave/xrstor is faster than the serializing clts/stts
pair.
Also now kernel_fpu_begin/end() relies on the patched
alternative instructions. So move check_fpu() which uses the
kernel_fpu_begin/end() after alternative_instructions().

x86, fpu: Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels
Currently for x86 and x86_32 binaries, fpstate in the user sigframe is copied
to/from the fpstate in the task struct.
And in the case of signal delivery for x86_64 binaries, if the fpstate is live
in the CPU registers, then the live state is copied directly to the user
sigframe. Otherwise fpstate in the task struct is copied to the user sigframe.
During restore, fpstate in the user sigframe is restored directly to the live
CPU registers.
Historically, different code paths led to different bugs. For example,
x86_64 code path was not preemption safe till recently. Also there is lot
of code duplication for support of new features like xsave etc.
Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels.
New strategy is as follows:
Signal delivery: Both for 32/64-bit frames, align the core math frame area to
64bytes as needed by xsave (this where the main fpu/extended state gets copied
to and excludes the legacy compatibility fsave header for the 32-bit [f]xsave
frames). If the state is live, copy the register state directly to the user
frame. If not live, copy the state in the thread struct to the user frame. And
for 32-bit [f]xsave frames, construct the fsave header separately before
the actual [f]xsave area.
Signal return: As the 32-bit frames with [f]xstate has an additional
'fsave' header, copy everything back from the user sigframe to the
fpstate in the task structure and reconstruct the fxstate from the 'fsave'
header (Also user passed pointers may not be correctly aligned for
any attempt to directly restore any partial state). At the next fpstate usage,
everything will be restored to the live CPU registers.
For all the 64-bit frames and the 32-bit fsave frame, restore the state from
the user sigframe directly to the live CPU registers. 64-bit signals always
restored the math frame directly, so we can expect the math frame pointer
to be correctly aligned. For 32-bit fsave frames, there are no alignment
requirements, so we can restore the state directly.
"lat_sig catch" microbenchmark numbers (for x86, x86_64, x86_32 binaries) are
with in the noise range with this change.

i387: Split up <asm/i387.h> into exported and internal interfaces
While various modules include <asm/i387.h> to get access to things we
actually *intend* for them to use, most of that header file was really
pretty low-level internal stuff that we really don't want to expose to
others.
So split the header file into two: the small exported interfaces remain
in <asm/i387.h>, while the internal definitions that are only used by
core architecture code are now in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.
The guiding principle for this was to expose functions that we export to
modules, and leave them in <asm/i387.h>, while stuff that is used by
task switching or was marked GPL-only is in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.
The fpu-internal.h file could be further split up too, especially since
arch/x86/kvm/ uses some of the remaining stuff for its module. But that
kvm usage should probably be abstracted out a bit, and at least now the
internal FPU accessor functions are much more contained. Even if it
isn't perhaps as contained as it _could_ be.
