XSTATE_CPUID is less meaningful than 0xd, and I would prefer to phase it out. >> + if ( hw_size < s->uncomp_size ) >> + panic("XSTATE 0x%016"PRIx64", new bits {%63pbl}, uncompressed hw >> size %#x < prev size %#x\n", >> + s->states, &new, hw_size, s->uncomp_size); >> + >> + s->uncomp_size = hw_size; > Since XSS state doesn't affect uncompressed layout, this looks like largely > dead code for that case. Did you consider moving this into the if() above? If that were a printk() rather than a panic(), then having the assignment in the if() would be wrong. So while it doesn't really matter given the way the logic is currently written, it's more code, and interferes with manual debugging to move the check into the if(). > Alternatively, should the comparison use == when dealing with XSS bits? Hmm. We probably can make this check work, given that we ascend through user states first, and the supervisor states second. Although I'd need to rerun such a change through the entire hardware lab.

The first version of this patch did have <=, and it really failed on SPR. When you activate AMX first, then PKRU next, PKRU really does fit in the alignment hole, and the overall compressed size is the same. It's a consequence of doing all the user states first, then all the supervisor states second. I did have them strictly in index order to begin with, but then hit the enumeration issue on Broadwell and reworked xstate_check_sizes() to have a single common cpu_has_xsaves around all supervisor states. I could potentially undo that, but the consequence is needing an cpu_has_xsaves in every call passing in X86_XSS_*. >> + s->comp_size = hw_size; >> + } >> + else if ( hw_size ) /* Compressed size reported, but no XSAVEC ? */ >> + { >> + static bool once; >> + >> + if ( !once ) >> + { >> + WARN(); >> + once = true; >> + } >> + } >> +} >> + >> +/* >> + * The {un,}compressed XSTATE sizes are reported by dynamic CPUID value, >> based >> + * on the current %XCR0 and MSR_XSS values.

That, however, would require to > interleave XCR0 and XSS checks, strictly by index. Did you consider (and > then discard) doing so? What offsets are you referring to? Compressed images have no offset information. Every "row" which has ecx.xss set has ebx (offset) reported as 0. The offset information for the user rows are only applicable for uncompressed images. The layout of a compressed image is a strict function of RFBM derived from component sizes alone. ~Andrew
