XSAVES is a kernel-mode instruction. It offers a compacted format and
memory-write optimization. These patches fix known issues in the first
implementation. They are intended for discussion and getting feedback
before actually getting applied.
Patch 1, 2, and 4 are for converting between kernel-mode xstate area and
signal frames.
Patch 8 is for converting between kernel-mode xstate area and ptrace
frames.
Patch 3 and 7 fix optimization issues introduced by XSAVES to the buffer
init_fpstate.
Patch 5 and 6 are related to xstate component offsets.
Patch 9 fixes xstate area print out.
Patch 10 re-enables XSAVES.
Yu-cheng Yu (10):
x86/xsaves: Define and use user_xstate_size for xstate size in signal
context
x86/xsaves: Rename xstate_size to kernel_xstate_size to explicitly
distinguish xstate size in kernel from user space
x86/xsaves: Keep init_fpstate.xsave.header.xfeatures as zero for init
optimization
x86/xsaves: Introduce a new check that allows correct xstates copy
from kernel to user directly
x86/xsaves: Align xstate components according to CPUID
x86/xsaves: Supervisor state component offset
x86/xsaves: Fix init_fpstate.header.xcomp_bv
x86/xsaves: Fix PTRACE frames for XSAVES
x86/xsaves: Fix XSTATE component offset print out
x86/xsaves: Re-enable XSAVES
