[patch 04/31] x86/fpu: Restrict xsaves()/xrstors() to independent states

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



These interfaces are really only valid for features which are independently
managed and not part of the task context state for various reasons.

Tighten the checks and adjust the misleading comments.
