Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 0/2] Introduce XSAVE/XRSTOR self-test

The XSAVE feature set supports the saving and restoring of state components,
and XSAVE feature is used for process context switching. The XSAVE state
components include x87 state for FPU execution environment, SSE state, AVX
state and so on. In order to ensure that XSAVE works correctly, add XSAVE
basic test for XSAVE architecture functionality.

This patch set tests and verifies the basic functions of XSAVE/XRSTOR in
user space; during and after signal handling on the x86 platform, the
XSAVE contents of the process should not be changed.

This series introduces only the most basic XSAVE tests.  In the
future, the intention is to continue expanding the scope of
these selftests to include more kernel XSAVE-related functionality
and XSAVE-managed features like AMX and shadow stacks.

Pengfei Xu (2):
  selftests/xsave: test basic XSAVE architecture functionality
  selftests/xsave: add xsave test during and after signal handling
