[PATCH 00/11] [v2] x86, fpu: XSAVE cleanups and sanity checks

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Thu Aug 27 2015 - 13:11:09 EST



Changes in v2:
* remove references to Processor Trace XSAVE state
(will defer to another patch set)
* Remove some cruft from last patch
* move last_good_offset fix in to the patch that
introduced it


These patches make some updates to the x86 XSAVE code.

There are basically 5 things going on here:
* removal of the LWP (lightweight profiling) code
* naming and type cleanups
* removal of xfeatures_nr variable
* addition of AVX-512 C structures
* new sanity checks of XSAVE buffer sizing
