2025-02-12um: add back support for FXSAVE registersBenjamin Berg
It was reported that qemu may not enable the XSTATE CPU extension, which is a requirement after commit 3f17fed21491 ("um: switch to regset API and depend on XSTATE"). Add a fallback to use FXSAVE (FP registers on x86_64 and XFP on i386) which is just a shorter version of the same data. The only difference is that the XSTATE magic should not be set in the signal frame. Note that this still drops support for the older i386 FP register layout as supporting this would require more backward compatibility to build a correct signal frame.

2024-10-23um: switch to regset API and depend on XSTATEBenjamin Berg
The PTRACE_GETREGSET API has now existed since Linux 2.6.33. The XSAVE CPU feature should also be sufficiently common to be able to rely on it. With this, define our internal FP state to be the hosts XSAVE data. Add discovery for the hosts XSAVE size and place the FP registers at the end of task_struct so that we can adjust the size at runtime. Next we can implement the regset API on top and update the signal handling as well as ptrace APIs to use them. Also switch coredump creation to use the regset API and finally set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. This considerably improves the signal frames. Previously they might not have contained all the registers (i386) and also did not have the sizes and magic values set to the correct values to permit userspace to decode the frame. As a side effect, this will permit UML to run on hosts with newer CPU extensions (such as AMX) that need even more register state.

2024-10-10um: always use the internal copy of the FP registersBenjamin Berg
When switching from userspace to the kernel, all registers including the FP registers are copied into the kernel and restored later on. As such, the true source for the FP register state is actually already in the kernel and they should never be grabbed from the userspace process. Change the various places to simply copy the data from the internal FP register storage area. Note that on i386 the format of PTRACE_GETFPREGS and PTRACE_GETFPXREGS is different enough that conversion would be needed. With this patch, -EINVAL is returned if the non-native format is requested. The upside is, that this patchset fixes setting registers via ptrace (which simply did not work before) as well as fixing setting floating point registers using the mcontext on signal return on i386.

2021-12-21um: stop polluting the namespace with registers.h contentsAl Viro
Only one extern in there is needed in processor-generic.h, and it's not needed anywhere else. So move it over there and get rid of the include in processor-generic.h, adding includes of registers.h to the few files that need the declarations in it.

2017-07-05um: Allow building and running on older hostsFlorian Fainelli
Commit a78ff1112263 ("um: add extended processor state save/restore support") and b6024b21fec8 ("um: extend fpstate to _xstate to support YMM registers") forced the use of the x86 FP _xstate and PTRACE_GETREGSET/SETREGSET. On older hosts, we would neither be able to build UML nor run it anymore with these two commits applied because we don't have definitions for struct _xstate nor these two ptrace requests. We can determine at build time which fp context structure to check against, just like we can keep using the old i387 fp save/restore if PTRACE_GETRESET/SETREGSET are not defined.

2016-05-21um: add extended processor state save/restore supportEli Cooper
This patch extends save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() to use PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET with the XSTATE note type, adding support for new processor state extensions between context switches. When the new ptrace requests are unavailable, it falls back to the old PTRACE_GETFPREGS and PTRACE_SETFPREGS methods, which have been renamed to save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers(). Now these functions expect *fp_regs to have the space of an _xstate struct. Thus, this also makes ptrace in UML responde to PTRACE_GETFPREGS/_SETFPREG requests with a user_i387_struct (thus independent from HOST_FP_SIZE), and by calling save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers() instead of the extended save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() functions.
