With this patch,
we have to reason about the effect of calling KVM_SET_CPUID2 twice calls
back to back.  I think an "&=" would be wrong in that case.

So, you suggest something like this ?

vcpu->arch.guest_fpu.fpstate->xfeatures =
         fpu_user_cfg.default_features & vcpu->arch.guest_supported_xcr0;


Yes, but you need to change user_xfeatures instead of xfeatures.
KVM_GET_XSAVE and KVM_SET_XSAVE will take it into account automatically:

- KVM_GET_XSAVE: fpu_copy_guest_fpstate_to_uabi -> __copy_xstate_to_uabi_buf

- KVM_SET_XSAVE: fpu_copy_uabi_to_guest_fpstate ->
copy_uabi_from_kernel_to_xstate -> copy_uabi_to_xstate ->
validate_user_xstate_buffer


Ok, I understand how this replaces patch 2/2, so no issue on that.

About patch 1/2,  you suggest that instead of fixing what we save in
the regs buffer, we fix only what we want to return to the user when
they call KVM_GET_XSAVE, is that correct?

Yes, exactly.
