Pull x86 FPU updates from Ingo Molnar: "Most of the changes here related to 'XSAVES supervisor state' support, which is a feature that allows kernel-only data to be automatically saved/restored by the FPU context switching code. CPU features that can be supported this way are Intel PT, 'PASID' and CET features" * tag 'x86-fpu-2020-06-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/fpu/xstate: Restore supervisor states for signal return x86/fpu/xstate: Preserve supervisor states for the slow path in __fpu__restore_sig() x86/fpu: Introduce copy_supervisor_to_kernel() x86/fpu/xstate: Update copy_kernel_to_xregs_err() for supervisor states x86/fpu/xstate: Update sanitize_restored_xstate() for supervisor xstates x86/fpu/xstate: Define new functions for clearing fpregs and xstates x86/fpu/xstate: Introduce XSAVES supervisor states x86/fpu/xstate: Separate user and supervisor xfeatures mask x86/fpu/xstate: Define new macros for supervisor and user xstates x86/fpu/xstate: Rename validate_xstate_header() to validate_user_xstate_header()
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
