Subject: x86/fpu: Emulate XRSTOR's behavior if the xfeatures PKRU bit is not set
From: Kyle Huey <me@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit d7e5aceace514a2b1b3ca3dc44f93f1704766ca7 upstream.
The hardware XRSTOR instruction resets the PKRU register to its hardware
init value (namely 0) if the PKRU bit is not set in the xfeatures mask.
Emulating that here restores the pre-5.14 behavior for PTRACE_SET_REGSET
with NT_X86_XSTATE, and makes sigreturn (which still uses XRSTOR) and
ptrace behave identically. KVM has never used XRSTOR and never had this
behavior, so KVM opts-out of this emulation by passing a NULL pkru pointer
to copy_uabi_to_xstate().
