I've been carrying this patch around for a bit and it's helped me
solve at least a couple FPU-related bugs. In addition to using
it for debugging, I also drug it out because using AVX (and
AVX2/AVX-512) can have serious power consequences for a modern
core. It's very important to be able to figure out who is using
it.
It's also insanely useful to go out and see who is using a given
feature, like MPX or Memory Protection Keys. If you, for
instance, want to find all processes using protection keys, you
can do:
echo 'xfeatures & 0x200' > filter
Since 0x200 is the protection keys feature bit.
Note that this touches the KVM code. KVM did a CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
and then included a bunch of random headers. If anyone one of
those included other tracepoints, it would have defined the *OTHER*
tracepoints. That's bogus, so move it to the right place.

(This should have gone to LKML originally. Sorry for the extra
noise, folks on the cc.)
Background:
Signal frames on x86 have two formats:
1. For 32-bit executables (whether on a real 32-bit kernel or
under 32-bit emulation on a 64-bit kernel) we have a
'fpregset_t' that includes the "FSAVE" registers.
2. For 64-bit executables (on 64-bit kernels obviously), the
'fpregset_t' is smaller and does not contain the "FSAVE"
state.
When creating the signal frame, we have to be aware of whether
we are running a 32 or 64-bit executable so we create the
correct format signal frame.
Problem:
save_xstate_epilog() uses 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' whenever it is
called for a 32-bit executable. This is for real 32-bit and
ia32 emulation.
But, fpu__init_prepare_fx_sw_frame() only initializes
'fx_sw_reserved_ia32' when emulation is enabled, *NOT* for real
32-bit kernels.
This leads to really wierd situations where 32-bit programs
lose their extended state when returning from a signal handler.
The kernel copies the uninitialized (zero) 'fx_sw_reserved_ia32'
out to userspace in save_xstate_epilog(). But when returning
from the signal, the kernel errors out in check_for_xstate()
when it does not see FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 present (because it was
zeroed). This leads to the FPU/XSAVE state being initialized.
For MPX, this leads to the most permissive state and means we
silently lose bounds violations. I think this would also mean
that we could lose *ANY* FPU/SSE/AVX state. I'm not sure why
no one has spotted this bug.
I believe this was broken by:
72a671ced6 ("x86, fpu: Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels")
way back in 2012.

Pull x86 sigcontext header cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
"This series reorganizes and cleans up various aspects of the main
sigcontext UAPI headers, such as unifying the data structures and
updating/adding lots of comments to explain all the ABI details and
quirks. The headers can now also be built in user-space standalone"
* 'x86-headers-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/headers: Clean up too long lines
x86/headers: Remove <asm/sigcontext.h> references on the kernel side
x86/headers: Remove direct sigcontext32.h uses
x86/headers: Convert sigcontext_ia32 uses to sigcontext_32
x86/headers: Unify 'struct sigcontext_ia32' and 'struct sigcontext_32'
x86/headers: Make sigcontext pointers bit independent
x86/headers: Move the 'struct sigcontext' definitions into the UAPI header

There are two concepts that have some confusing naming:
1. Extended State Component numbers (currently called
XFEATURE_BIT_*)
2. Extended State Component masks (currently called XSTATE_*)
The numbers are (currently) from 0-9. State component 3 is the
bounds registers for MPX, for instance.
But when we want to enable "state component 3", we go set a bit
in XCR0. The bit we set is 1<<3. We can check to see if a
state component feature is enabled by looking at its bit.
The current 'xfeature_bit's are at best xfeature bit _numbers_.
Calling them bits is at best inconsistent with ending the enum
list with 'XFEATURES_NR_MAX'.
This patch renames the enum to be 'xfeature'. These also
happen to be what the Intel documentation calls a "state
component".
We also want to differentiate these from the "XSTATE_*" macros.
The "XSTATE_*" macros are a mask, and we rename them to match.
These macros are reasonably widely used so this patch is a
wee bit big, but this really is just a rename.
The only non-mechanical part of this is the
s/XSTATE_EXTEND_MASK/XFEATURE_MASK_EXTEND/
We need a better name for it, but that's another patch.
