[PATCH v8 06/26] x86/fpu/xstate: Calculate and remember dynamic XSTATE buffer sizes

From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Sat Jul 17 2021 - 11:35:29 EST


The CPUID instruction separately enumerates sizes and alignments of
individual xfeatures. It independently enumerates the required size of an
entire XSAVE buffer to store all enabled features.

calculate_xstate_sizes() currently uses the individual feature
size/alignment enumeration to independently recalculate the required XSAVE
buffer size. This is compared against the CPUID-provided value.

Extend the function to accept an option to exclude dynamic states. With
that, calculate the maximum size that contains all the enabled states, and
the minimum size that fits in the statically-allocated buffer by excluding
dynamic states.
