[PATCH for-4.18] x86/cpuid: Fix handling of XSAVE dynamic leaves
Posted by Andrew Cooper 5 months ago
[ This is a minimal backport of commit 71cacfb035f4 ("x86/cpuid: Fix handling
  of XSAVE dynamic leaves") to fix the bugs without depending on large rework of
  XSTATE handling in Xen 4.19 ]

First, if XSAVE is available in hardware but not visible to the guest, the
dynamic leaves shouldn't be filled in.

Second, the comment concerning XSS state is wrong.  VT-x doesn't manage
host/guest state automatically, but there is provision for "host only" bits to
be set, so the implications are still accurate.

In Xen 4.18, no XSS states are supported, so it's safe to keep deferring to
real hardware.

I'll try to not forget to include this in my next backporting batch. Thanks
for getting this sorted so quickly.

No problem.  If you're intending to commit this, could you fix:

  "depending on large" => "depending on the large"

in the first sentence please.  Only just spotted it.
