# 279211 23-Feb-2015 jhb

MFC 274817,274878,276801,276840,278976:
Improve support for XSAVE with debuggers.
- Dump an NT_X86_XSTATE note if XSAVE is in use. This note is designed
to match what Linux does in that 1) it dumps the entire XSAVE area
including the fxsave state, and 2) it stashes a copy of the current
xsave mask in the unused padding between the fxsave state and the
xstate header at the same location used by Linux.
- Teach readelf() to recognize NT_X86_XSTATE notes.
- Change PT_GET/SETXSTATE to take the entire XSAVE state instead of
only the extra portion. This avoids having to always make two
ptrace() calls to get or set the full XSAVE state.
- Add a PT_GET_XSTATE_INFO which returns the length of the current
XSTATE save area (so the size of the buffer needed for PT_GETXSTATE)
and the current XSAVE mask (%xcr0).

MFamd64: Add support for extended FPU states on i386. This includes
support for AVX on i386.


# 256281 10-Oct-2013 gjb

MFamd64 r238669:
Force clean FPU state in PCB user FPU save area for PT_I386_{GET,SET}XMMREGS.

# 208833 05-Jun-2010 kib

Introduce the x86 kernel interfaces to allow kernel code to use
FPU/SSE hardware. Caller should provide a save area that is chained
into the stack of the areas; pcb save_area for usermode FPU state is
on top. The pcb now contains a pointer to the current FPU saved area,
used during FPUDNA handling and context switches. There is also a
facility to allow the kernel thread to use pcb save_area.

Change the dreaded warnings "npxdna in kernel mode!" into the panics
when FPU usage is not registered.

# 159087 30-May-2006 davidxu

Use the method described in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's
Manual chapter 11.6.6 to get valid mxcsr bits, use the mxcsr mask to clear
invalid bits passed by user code.

# 159000 28-May-2006 davidxu

Clear high 16 bits of mxcsr register, according to Intel document, if
the high 16 bits is non-zero, fxrstor instruction will generate GP fault,
resulting kernel crash, this bug can be triggered by setcontext and
ptrace(PT_SETXMMREGS).

# 147741 02-Jul-2005 delphij

Remove the CPU_ENABLE_SSE option from the i386 and pc98 architectures,
as they are already default for I686_CPU for almost 3 years, and
CPU_DISABLE_SSE always disables it. On the other hand, CPU_ENABLE_SSE
does not work for I486_CPU and I586_CPU.

This commit has:
- Removed the option from conf/options.*
- Removed the option and comments from MD NOTES files
- Simplified the CPU_ENABLE_SSE ifdef's so they don't
deal with CPU_ENABLE_SSE from kernel configuration. (*)

For most users, this commit should be largely no-op. If you used to
place CPU_ENABLE_SSE into your kernel configuration for some reason,
it is time to remove it.

(*) The ifdef's of CPU_ENABLE_SSE are not removed at this point, since
we need to change it to !defined(CPU_DISABLE_SSE) && defined(I686_CPU),
not just !defined(CPU_DISABLE_SSE), if we really want to do so.

# 146959 04-Jun-2005 dfr

Add the proper logic so that we don't try to do SSE stuff unless its
enabled.


# 146818 31-May-2005 dfr

Add support for XMM registers in GDB for x86 processors that support
SSE (or its successors).
