| |
XSAVES is a kernel instruction and uses a compacted format. When working with user space, the kernel should provide standard-format, non-supervisor state data. We cannot do __copy_to_user() from a compacted- format kernel xstate area to a signal frame.
Dave Hansen proposes this method to simplify copy xstate directly to user.
