Subject: [PATCH v5 00/12] x86/xsaves: Fix XSAVES issues

XSAVES is a kernel-mode instruction. It offers a compacted format and
memory-write optimization. These patches fix issues in the first
implementation. They are intended for discussion and getting feedback
before actually getting applied.

Changes since Version 4:

Patch 4 - Introduce a new check to copy registers directly to signal
          frame: Simplify the check for compacted format.

Patch 7 - Fix PTRACE frames for XSAVES: If PTRACE attempts to set
          any disabled xstate, return failure; using_compacted_format()
          is used when appropriate.

New additions:

Patch 10 - Fix __fp_restore_sig() for xsaves: it was doing direct
           copying from user mode standard format to kernel mode,
           which could be in compacted format. Fix it by restoring
           directly to registers.

Patch 11 - Add WARN_ON_FPU() when a disabled xstate component is
           requested for a compacted format.

Patch 12 - Fix fpstate_init() for XSAVES: xcomp_bv[63] must be set
           for XSAVES.

Yu-cheng Yu (13):
  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 PTRACE frames for XSAVES
  x86/xsaves: Fix XSTATE component offset print out
  x86/xsaves: Fix xstate_offsets, xstate_sizes for non-extended states
  x86/xsaves: Fix __fpu_restore_sig() for XSAVES
  x86/xsaves: Add WARN_ON_FPU() when a disabled xstate component offset
    is requested for a compacted format
  x86/xsaves: Fix fpstate_init() for XSAVES
  x86/xsaves: Re-enable XSAVES
