Chang S. Bae 1811c61065 x86/fpu: Ensure XFD state on signal delivery
commit 388eff894d6bc5f921e9bfff0e4b0ab2684a96e9 upstream.

Sean reported [1] the following splat when running KVM tests:

   WARNING: CPU: 232 PID: 15391 at xfd_validate_state+0x65/0x70
   Call Trace:
    <TASK>
    fpu__clear_user_states+0x9c/0x100
    arch_do_signal_or_restart+0x142/0x210
    exit_to_user_mode_loop+0x55/0x100
    do_syscall_64+0x205/0x2c0
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53

Chao further identified [2] a reproducible scenario involving signal
delivery: a non-AMX task is preempted by an AMX-enabled task which
modifies the XFD MSR.

When the non-AMX task resumes and reloads XSTATE with init values,
a warning is triggered due to a mismatch between fpstate::xfd and the
CPU's current XFD state. fpu__clear_user_states() does not currently
re-synchronize the XFD state after such preemption.

Invoke xfd_update_state() which detects and corrects the mismatch if
there is a dynamic feature.

This also benefits the sigreturn path, as fpu__restore_sig() may call
fpu__clear_user_states() when the sigframe is inaccessible.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
