[RFC PATCH 14/22] x86/fpu/xstate: Inherit dynamic user state when used in the parent

From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Thu Oct 01 2020 - 16:43:56 EST


When a new task is created, the kernel copies all the states from the
parent. If the parent already has any dynamic user state in use, the new
task has to expand the XSAVE buffer to save them. Also, disable the
associated first-use fault.

No functional change until the kernel supports dynamic user states.
