[PATCH v4 1/6] KVM: x86: Add a helper to handle filtering of unpermitted XCR0 features

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Apr 04 2023 - 20:45:31 EST


From: Aaron Lewis <aaronlewis@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a helper, kvm_get_filtered_xcr0(), to dedup code that needs to account
for XCR0 features that require explicit opt-in on a per-process basis. In
addition to documenting when KVM should/shouldn't consult
xstate_get_guest_group_perm(), the helper will also allow sanitizing the
filtered XCR0 to avoid enumerating architecturally illegal XCR0 values,
e.g. XTILE_CFG without XTILE_DATA.

No functional changes intended.
