Why do we need all that unnecessary churn? Also, this patch is trying to do a couple of things at once and reviewing it is not trivial. Please split the changes logically. > diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c b/arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c > index 19f8df54c72a..dd2c561c4544 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c > +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c > @@ -51,13 +51,16 @@ static short xsave_cpuid_features[] __initdata = { > }; > > /* > - * Mask of xstate features supported by the CPU and the kernel: > + * Mask of xstate features supported by the CPU and the kernel. > + * This is the result from CPUID query, SUPPORTED_XFEATURES_MASK, > + * and boot_cpu_has(). > */ This needs to explain what both masks are - user and system.

Also, you have a couple more places in your patches where you unnecessarily break lines.
