Plumb an xfeatures mask into __copy_xstate_to_uabi_buf() so that KVM can
constrain which xfeatures are saved into the userspace buffer without
having to modify the user_xfeatures field in KVM's guest_fpu state.
KVM's ABI for KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} is that features that are not exposed to
guest must not show up in the effective xstate_bv field of the buffer.
Saving only the guest-supported xfeatures allows userspace to load the
saved state on a different host with a fewer xfeatures, so long as the
target host supports the xfeatures that are exposed to the guest.
KVM currently sets user_xfeatures directly to restrict KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} to
the set of guest-supported xfeatures, but doing so broke KVM's historical
ABI for KVM_SET_XSAVE, which allows userspace to load any xfeatures that
are supported by the *host*.

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.
