From 04944b793e18ece23f63c0252646b310c1845940 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 14:04:28 -0700 Subject: x86: xsave: set FP, SSE bits in the xsave header in the user sigcontext If a processor implementation discern that a processor state component is in its initialized state, it may modify the corresponding bit in the xsave header.xstate_bv as '0'. State in the memory layout setup by 'xsave' will be consistent with the bit values in the header. During signal handling, legacy applications may change the FP/SSE bits in the sigcontext memory layout without touching the FP/SSE header bits in the xsave header. So always set FP/SSE bits in the xsave header while saving the sigcontext state to the user space. During signal return, this will enable the kernel to capture any changes to the FP/SSE bits by the legacy applications which don't touch xsave headers. xsave aware apps can change the xstate_bv in the xsave header aswell as change any contents in the memory layout. xrestor as part of sigreturn will capture all the changes.
