This patch adds helper functions that will update PKRU value on the
sigframe after XSAVE.
These functions will be called in a later patch; this patch does not
change any behavior as yet.

No line break and why does this need two underscores in the function name?

Why assign NULL to pk?
Also this wants to have a
if (unlikely(!cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_OSPKE)))
return 0;
Instead of doing it at the call site.

What is this check for?
More interesting: How is this check supposed to succeed at all?
copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()
....
copy_fpregs_to_sigframe()
xsave_to_user_sigframe();
__update_pkru_in_sigframe();
save_xstate_epilog();
check_xstate_in_sigframe() validates the full frame including what
save_xstate_epilog() writes afterwards. So this clearly cannot work.

What's wrong with 'return -EFAULT;'?

Why user_write_access_begin()?
1) The access to the FPU frame on the stack has been validated
already in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe() _before_
copy_fpregs_to_sigframe() is invoked.
2) This does not require the nospec_barrier() as this is not a user
controlled potentially malicious access.

This type case would need __force to be valid for make C=1.
But that's not required at all because get_xsave_addr_user() should
return a user pointer in the first place.

So none of the above voodoo is required at all.
return __put_user(pkru, get_xsave_addr_user(buf, XFEATURE_PKRU));
Is all what's needed, no?

return (void __user *)....

Patch 1/4 has the “why”. Should I expand more in that commit message?
Or are you specifically asking about why the helper functions are needed;
I can certainly elaborate on that here.
Thanks very much for your detailed review. I will make the required corrections.
Thanks,
