Subject: [PATCH 00/10] x86/xsaves: Fix XSAVES known issues

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
