[PATCH v6 13/26] x86/fpu/xstate: Support ptracer-induced XSTATE buffer expansion

From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Wed Jun 30 2021 - 02:09:09 EST


ptrace() may update XSTATE data before the target task has taken an XFD
fault and expanded the XSTATE buffer. Detect this case and allocate a
sufficient buffer to support the request. Also, disable the (now
unnecessary) associated first-use fault.
