mainlining shenanigans
dc7507ddce
The kernel must allocate a Process Address Space ID (PASID) on behalf of each process which will use ENQCMD and program it into the new MSR to communicate the process identity to platform hardware. ENQCMD uses the PASID stored in this MSR to tag requests from this process. The PASID state must be cleared on fork() since fork creates a new address space. For clone(), it would be functionally OK to copy the PASID. However, clearing it is _also_ functionally OK since any PASID use will trigger the #GP handler to populate the MSR. Copying the PASID state has two main downsides: * It requires differentiating fork() and clone() in the code, both in the FPU code and keeping tsk->pasid_activated consistent. * It guarantees that the PASID is out of its init state, which incurs small but non-zero cost on every XSAVE/XRSTOR. The main downside of clearing the PASID at fpstate copy is the future, one-time #GP for the thread. Use the simplest approach: clear the PASID state both on clone() and fork(). Rely on the #GP handler for MSR population in children. Also, just clear the PASID bit from xfeatures if XSAVE is supported. This will have no effect on systems that do not have PASID support. It is virtually zero overhead because 'dst_fpu' was just written and the whole thing is cache hot.

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.
