[PATCH v2 15/22] x86/fpu/xstate: Support ptracer-induced xstate area expansion
From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Thu Nov 19 2020 - 18:37:22 EST
ptrace() may request an update to task->fpu that has not yet been
allocated. Detect this case and allocate task->fpu to support the request.
Also, disable the (now unnecessary) associated first-use fault.
No functional change until the kernel supports dynamic user states.
