Subject[PATCH v6 04/13] x86/xsaves: Introduce a new check that allows correct xstates copy from kernel to user directly
Date
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.
