[Kamal Mostafa]

This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    x86, fpu: shift drop_init_fpu() from save_xstate_sig() to handle_signal()

to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y.z extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue

This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.10.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please 
reply to this email.

Subject: x86, fpu: shift drop_init_fpu() from save_xstate_sig() to
 handle_signal()

commit 66463db4fc5605d51c7bb81d009d5bf30a783a2c upstream.

save_xstate_sig()->drop_init_fpu() doesn't look right. setup_rt_frame()
can fail after that, in this case the next setup_rt_frame() triggered
by SIGSEGV won't save fpu simply because the old state was lost. This
obviously mean that fpu won't be restored after sys_rt_sigreturn() from
SIGSEGV handler.

Shift drop_init_fpu() into !failed branch in handle_signal().

Test-case (needs -O2):

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <signal.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/syscall.h>
	#include <sys/mman.h>
	#include <pthread.h>
	#include <assert.h>

	volatile double D;

	void test(double d)
	{
		int pid = getpid();

		for (D = d; D == d; ) {
			/* sys_tkill(pid, SIGHUP); asm to avoid save/reload
			 * fp regs around "C" call */
			asm ("" : : "a"(200), "D"(pid), "S"(1));
			asm ("syscall" : : : "ax");
		}

		printf("ERR!!\n");
	}

	void sigh(int sig)
	{
	}

	char altstack[4096 * 10] __attribute__((aligned(4096)));

	void *tfunc(void *arg)
	{
		for (;;) {
			mprotect(altstack, sizeof(altstack), PROT_READ);
			mprotect(altstack, sizeof(altstack), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE);
		}
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		stack_t st = {
			.ss_sp = altstack,
			.ss_size = sizeof(altstack),
			.ss_flags = SS_ONSTACK,
		};

		struct sigaction sa = {
			.sa_handler = sigh,
		};

		pthread_t pt;

		sigaction(SIGSEGV, &sa, NULL);
		sigaltstack(&st, NULL);
		sa.sa_flags = SA_ONSTACK;
		sigaction(SIGHUP, &sa, NULL);

		pthread_create(&pt, NULL, tfunc, NULL);

		test(123.456);
		return 0;
	}
