Subject: [PATCH 5.19 065/207] KVM: x86: Always enable legacy FP/SSE in allowed user XFEATURES

From: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@...hat.com>

commit a1020a25e69755a8a1a37735d674b91d6f02939f upstream.

Allow FP and SSE state to be saved and restored via KVM_{G,SET}_XSAVE on
XSAVE-capable hosts even if their bits are not exposed to the guest via
XCR0.

Failing to allow FP+SSE first showed up as a QEMU live migration failure,
where migrating a VM from a pre-XSAVE host, e.g. Nehalem, to an XSAVE
host failed due to KVM rejecting KVM_SET_XSAVE.  However, the bug also
causes problems even when migrating between XSAVE-capable hosts as
KVM_GET_SAVE won't set any bits in user_xfeatures if XSAVE isn't exposed
to the guest, i.e. KVM will fail to actually migrate FP+SSE.

Because KVM_{G,S}ET_XSAVE are designed to allowing migrating between
hosts with and without XSAVE, KVM_GET_XSAVE on a non-XSAVE (by way of
fpu_copy_guest_fpstate_to_uabi()) always sets the FP+SSE bits in the
header so that KVM_SET_XSAVE will work even if the new host supports
XSAVE.
