[PATCH 4/5] x86/fpu: Add consistency check between xstate_size and xfeatures
From: Andrei Vagin
Date: Tue May 26 2026 - 16:53:17 EST
The signal frame is designed to be self-describing, where xstate_size
indicates the actual size of the xstate context. The kernel previously
lacked a check to ensure that the provided xstate_size was sufficient
for the features enabled in the xfeatures mask. Additionally,
restore_fpregs_from_user() always used the default xstate_size to
fault in the xstate user buffer.
These consistency checks have been added:
* Validate that xfeatures is a subset of the features enabled for the
task.
* Calculate the required size for the validated xfeatures mask.
* Ensure the provided xstate_size is sufficient.
These checks prevent the kernel from attempting to fault in memory past the
end of a frame.
