0-Day found a 34.6% regression in stress-ng's 'af-alg' test case, and bisected it to commitb81fac906a("x86/fpu: Move FPU initialization into arch_cpu_finalize_init()"), which optimizes the FPU init order, and moves the CR4_OSXSAVE enabling into a later place: arch_cpu_finalize_init identify_boot_cpu identify_cpu generic_identify get_cpu_cap --> setup cpu capability ... fpu__init_cpu fpu__init_cpu_xstate cr4_set_bits(X86_CR4_OSXSAVE); As the FPU is not yet initialized the CPU capability setup fails to set X86_FEATURE_OSXSAVE. Many security module like 'camellia_aesni_avx_x86_64' depend on this feature and therefore fail to load, causing the regression. Cure this by setting X86_FEATURE_OSXSAVE feature right after OSXSAVE enabling. [ tglx: Moved it into the actual BSP FPU initialization code and added a comment ] Fixes:b81fac906a("x86/fpu: Move FPU initialization into arch_cpu_finalize_init()") Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/202307192135.203ac24e-oliver.sang@intel.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230823065747.92257-1-feng.tang@intel.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
