Name:Weird legacy quirk: SSE and YMM states store information in the* MXCSR and MXCSR_FLAGS fields of the FP area. That means if the FP* area is marked as unused in the xfeatures header, we need to copy* MXCSR and MXCSR_FLAGS if either SSE or YMM are in use.

Proto:static inline bool xfeatures_mxcsr_quirk(u64 xfeatures)

Type:bool

Parameter:

TypeParameterName
u64xfeatures
950  If Not (xfeatures & (XFEATURE_MASK_SSE | XFEATURE_MASK_YMM)) Then Return false
953  If xfeatures & XFEATURE_MASK_FP Then Return false
956  Return true

NameDescribe
copy_xstate_to_kernelConvert from kernel XSAVES compacted format to standard format and copy* to a kernel-space ptrace buffer.* It supports partial copy but pos always starts from zero. This is called* from xstateregs_get() and there we check the CPU has XSAVES.
copy_xstate_to_userConvert from kernel XSAVES compacted format to standard format and copy* to a user-space buffer. It supports partial copy but pos always starts from* zero. This is called from xstateregs_get() and there we check the CPU* has XSAVES.
copy_kernel_to_xstateConvert from a ptrace standard-format kernel buffer to kernel XSAVES format* and copy to the target thread. This is called from xstateregs_set().
copy_user_to_xstateConvert from a ptrace or sigreturn standard-format user-space buffer to* kernel XSAVES format and copy to the target thread. This is called from* xstateregs_set(), as well as potentially from the sigreturn() and* rt_sigreturn() system calls.
