From 5fc960380ea44ba529c78b558b6cd4250e5e1958 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2015 09:52:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu/math-emu: Fix math-emu boot crash On a math-emu bootup the following crash occurs: Initializing CPU#0 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:779! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP [...] EIP is at do_device_not_available+0xe/0x70 [...] Call Trace: [] error_code+0x5a/0x60 [] ? math_error+0x140/0x140 [] ? fpu__init_cpu+0x59/0xa0 [] cpu_init+0x202/0x330 [] ? __native_set_fixmap+0x1f/0x30 [] trap_init+0x305/0x346 [] start_kernel+0x1a5/0x35d [] i386_start_kernel+0x82/0x86 The reason is that in the following commit: b1276c48e91b ("x86/fpu: Initialize fpregs in fpu__init_cpu_generic()") I failed to consider math-emu's limitation that it cannot execute the FNINIT instruction in kernel mode. The long term fix might be to allow math-emu to execute (certain) kernel mode FPU instructions, but for now apply the safe (albeit somewhat ugly) fix: initialize the emulation state explicitly without trapping out to the FPU emulator.
