[RFC PATCH 4/8] x86/fpu/xstate: Introduce kernel dynamic xfeature set

From: Yang Weijiang
Date: Thu Sep 14 2023 - 02:28:54 EST


Define a new kernel xfeature set including the features can be dynamically
enabled, i.e., the relevant feature is enabled on demand. The xfeature set
is currently used by KVM to configure __guest__ fpstate, i.e., calculating
the xfeature and fpstate storage size etc. The xfeature set is initialized
once and used whenever it's referenced to avoid repeat calculation.

Currently it's used when 1) guest fpstate __state_size is calculated while
guest permits are configured 2) guest vCPU is created and its fpstate is
initialized.
