[PATCH 07/10] x86/xsaves: Fix init_fpstate.header.xcomp_bv
From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Mon Feb 22 2016 - 14:02:30 EST
In setup_init_fpu_buf(), we use XRSTOR/XRSTORS with xfeatures (xstate_bv)
of 0x0 to effectively set all xstate components to init values. We then
execute XSAVE/XSAVES on the same buffer to save back init values.
This actually does not apply to XSAVES as XSAVES uses optimization. After
init, all components are in INIT and not MODIFIED state and will not be
saved. There is no need of setting xcomp_bv except for bit 63 to indicate
a compacted format.
Currently, init_fpstate is used in two ways:
(1) With copy_kernel_to_xregs(): because header.xfeatures is zero, the
content is not actually read;
(2) With memcpy(): to sanitize a standard-format xsave area; the buffer is
setup as expected.
