Before the introduction of XSAVES supervisor states, 'xfeatures_mask' is used at various places to determine XSAVE buffer components and XCR0 bits. It contains only user xstates. To support supervisor xstates, it is necessary to separate user and supervisor xstates: - First, change 'xfeatures_mask' to 'xfeatures_mask_all', which represents the full set of bits that should ever be set in a kernel XSAVE buffer. - Introduce xfeatures_mask_supervisor() and xfeatures_mask_user() to extract relevant xfeatures from xfeatures_mask_all.

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.
