v1: https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/cover.1720538832.git.alejandro.vallejo@xxxxxxxxx/T/#t v1 -> v2: v1/patch1 and v1/patch2 are already in staging. =============================== Original cover letter ========================= I want to eventually reach a position in which the FPU state can be allocated from the domheap and hidden via the same core mechanism proposed in Elias' directmap removal series. Doing so is complicated by the presence of 2 aliased pointers (v->arch.fpu_ctxt and v->arch.xsave_area) and the rather complicated semantics of vcpu_setup_fpu(). This series tries to simplify the code so moving to a "map/modify/unmap" model is more tractable. Patches 1 and 2 are trivial refactors. Patch 3 unifies FPU state so an XSAVE area is allocated per vCPU regardless of the host supporting it or not. The rationale is that the memory savings are negligible and not worth the extra complexity. Patch 4 is a non-trivial split of the vcpu_setup_fpu() into 2 separate functions. One to override x87/SSE state, and another to set a reset state. =============================================================================== Alejandro Vallejo (2): x86/fpu: Combine fpu_ctxt and xsave_area in arch_vcpu x86/fpu: Split fpu_setup_fpu() in two xen/arch/x86/domain.c | 7 +- xen/arch/x86/domctl.c | 5 +- xen/arch/x86/hvm/emulate.c | 4 +- xen/arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c | 32 +++++++--- xen/arch/x86/i387.c | 103 ++++++++++-------------------- xen/arch/x86/include/asm/domain.h | 8 +-- xen/arch/x86/include/asm/i387.h | 28 ++++++-- xen/arch/x86/include/asm/xstate.h | 1 + xen/arch/x86/x86_emulate/blk.c | 3 +- xen/arch/x86/xstate.c | 13 +++- 10 files changed, 108 insertions(+), 96 deletions(-) -- 2.45.2
