[PATCH v4 21/22] x86/fpu/xstate: Support dynamic user state in the signal handling path

From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Sun Feb 21 2021 - 14:08:47 EST


Entering a signal handler, the kernel saves xstate in signal frame. The
dynamic user state is better to be saved only when used. fpu->state_mask
can help to exclude unused states.

Returning from a signal handler, XRSTOR re-initializes the excluded state
components.

Add a test case to verify in the signal handler that the signal frame
excludes AMX data when the signaled thread has initialized AMX state.

Changes from v3:
* Removed 'no functional changes' in the changelog. (Borislav Petkov)

Changes from v1:
* Made it revertable (moved close to the end of the series).
* Included the test case.
