Oops yes.

Sure, I'll adjust the comma.

Hmm yea. Another reason the actual define is passed in is that the
macro want's to stringify the XFEATURE define in order to generate the
message like this:
XFEATURE_YMM: struct is 123 bytes, cpu state is 456 bytes
The exact format of the message is probably not too critical though. If
instead it used xfeature_names[], it could be:
[AVX registers]: struct is 123 bytes, cpu state is 456 bytes
The full block looks like (like you had):
switch (nr) {
case XFEATURE_YMM: return XCHECK_SZ(sz, nr, struct ymmh_struct);
case XFEATURE_BNDREGS: return XCHECK_SZ(sz, nr, struct
mpx_bndreg_state);
case XFEATURE_BNDCSR: return XCHECK_SZ(sz, nr, struct
mpx_bndcsr_state);
case XFEATURE_OPMASK: return XCHECK_SZ(sz, nr, struct
avx_512_opmask_state);
case XFEATURE_ZMM_Hi256: return XCHECK_SZ(sz, nr, struct
avx_512_zmm_uppers_state);
case XFEATURE_Hi16_ZMM: return XCHECK_SZ(sz, nr, struct
avx_512_hi16_state);
case XFEATURE_PKRU: return XCHECK_SZ(sz, nr, struct pkru_state);
case XFEATURE_PASID: return XCHECK_SZ(sz, nr, struct
ia32_pasid_state);
case XFEATURE_XTILE_CFG: return XCHECK_SZ(sz, nr, struct xtile_cfg);
case XFEATURE_CET_USER: return XCHECK_SZ(sz, nr, struct
cet_user_state);
case XFEATURE_XTILE_DATA: check_xtile_data_against_struct(sz); return
true;
default:
WARN_ONCE(1, "no structure for xstate: %d\n", nr);
XSTATE_WARN_ON(1);
return false;
}
I like how it fits the XFEATURE_XTILE_DATA check in with the rest.
Thanks!
