Subject[PATCH 4.3 048/125] x86/fpu: Fix get_xsave_addr() behavior under virtualization
Date
4.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Huaitong Han <huaitong.han@intel.com>

commit a05917b6ba9dc9a95fc42bdcbe3a875e8ad83935 upstream.

KVM uses the get_xsave_addr() function in a different fashion from
the native kernel, in that the 'xsave' parameter belongs to guest vcpu,
not the currently running task.

But 'xsave' is replaced with current task's (host) xsave structure, so
get_xsave_addr() will incorrectly return the bad xsave address to KVM.

Fix it so that the passed in 'xsave' address is used - as intended
originally.
