    x86/fpu: Fix 32-bit signal frame handling · ab6b5294

    (This should have gone to LKML originally. Sorry for the extra
     noise, folks on the cc.)
    
    Background:
    
    Signal frames on x86 have two formats:
    
      1. For 32-bit executables (whether on a real 32-bit kernel or
         under 32-bit emulation on a 64-bit kernel) we have a
        'fpregset_t' that includes the "FSAVE" registers.
    
      2. For 64-bit executables (on 64-bit kernels obviously), the
         'fpregset_t' is smaller and does not contain the "FSAVE"
         state.
    
    When creating the signal frame, we have to be aware of whether
    we are running a 32 or 64-bit executable so we create the
    correct format signal frame.
    
    Problem:
    
    save_xstate_epilog() uses 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' whenever it is
    called for a 32-bit executable.  This is for real 32-bit and
    ia32 emulation.
    
    But, fpu__init_prepare_fx_sw_frame() only initializes
    'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' when emulation is enabled, *NOT* for real
    32-bit kernels.
    
    This leads to really wierd situations where 32-bit programs
    lose their extended state when returning from a signal handler.
    The kernel copies the uninitialized (zero) 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32'
    out to userspace in save_xstate_epilog().  But when returning
    from the signal, the kernel errors out in check_for_xstate()
    when it does not see FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 present (because it was
    zeroed).  This leads to the FPU/XSAVE state being initialized.
    
    For MPX, this leads to the most permissive state and means we
    silently lose bounds violations.  I think this would also mean
    that we could lose *ANY* FPU/SSE/AVX state.  I'm not sure why
    no one has spotted this bug.
    
    I believe this was broken by:
    
    	72a671ce
    
     ("x86, fpu: Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels")
    
    way back in 2012.
