From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> One nice thing about having PKRU be XSAVE-managed is that it gets naturally exposed into the XSAVE-using ABIs. Now that XSAVE will not be used to manage PKRU, these ABIs need to be manually enabled to deal with PKRU. For signals (the restore_hwregs_from_user() path), it's quite straightforward. restore_hwregs_from_user() will update PKRU in from the user signal buffer. Ensure that PKRU is shuffled into the thread storage.
