[v9,04/27] x86/fpu/xstate: Introduce XFEATURE_MASK_KERNEL_DYNAMIC xfeature set

Commit Message

Yang, Weijiang Jan. 24, 2024, 2:41 a.m. UTC

Define a new XFEATURE_MASK_KERNEL_DYNAMIC mask to specify the features
that can be optionally enabled by kernel components. This is similar to
XFEATURE_MASK_USER_DYNAMIC in that it contains optional xfeatures that
can allows the FPU buffer to be dynamically sized. The difference is that
the KERNEL variant contains supervisor features and will be enabled by
kernel components that need them, and not directly by the user. Currently
it's used by KVM to configure guest dedicated fpstate for calculating
the xfeature and fpstate storage size etc.

The kernel dynamic xfeatures now only contain XFEATURE_CET_KERNEL, which
is supported by host as they're enabled in kernel XSS MSR setting but
relevant CPU feature, i.e., supervisor shadow stack, is not enabled in
host kernel therefore it can be omitted for normal fpstate by default.

Remove the kernel dynamic feature from fpu_kernel_cfg.default_features
so that the bits in xstate_bv and xcomp_bv are cleared and xsaves/xrstors
can be optimized by HW for normal fpstate.
