https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=255997 --- Comment #2 from Henning Zabel <h.zabel@beckhoff.com> --- we are using a modified version of the freebsd kernel. because we do floating point operations within spinlocks a "device not available" exception may break these locks. because of this we avoid using fpu emulation for kernel threads and restore a valid state in fpu_enter and fpu_kern_thread. we also restore the fpu state within context switches to a kernel thread with FPU_KERN set. this modified kernel will not run, because ktls_kern_thread then tries to restore an uninitialized state. thus, the ktls thread itself is not the problem, but it the first hitting this situation. currently it seems not to be a problem for the freebsd 13 kernel, nevertheless its a fault. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
