x86/fpu: Fix FPU register read access to the current task
Bobby Powers reported the following FPU warning during ELF coredumping:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27452 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/core.c:324 fpu__activate_stopped+0x8a/0xa0()
This warning unearthed an invalid assumption about fpu__activate_stopped()
that I added in:
67e97fc2ec57 ("x86/fpu: Rename init_fpu() to fpu__unlazy_stopped() and add debugging check")
the old init_fpu() function had an (intentional but obscure) side effect:
when FPU registers are accessed for the current task, for reading, then
it synchronized live in-register FPU state with the fpstate by saving it.
So fix this bug by saving the FPU if we are the current task. We'll
still warn in fpu__save() if this is called for not yet stopped
child tasks, so the debugging check is still preserved.
Also rename the function to fpu__activate_fpstate(), because it's not
exclusively used for stopped tasks, but for the current task as well.
( Note that this bug calls for a cleaner separation of access-for-read
and access-for-modification FPU methods, but we'll do that in separate
patches. )
