Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 0/2] Introduce XSAVE/XRSTOR self-test
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2021 15:45:31 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1631776654.git.pengfei.xu@intel.com> (raw)
The XSAVE feature set supports the saving and restoring of state components,
which is used for process context switching. The state components include
x87 state for FPU execution environment, SSE state, AVX state and so on. In
order to ensure that XSAVE works correctly, add XSAVE basic test for
XSAVE architecture functionality.
This patch set tests and verifies the basic functions of XSAVE/XRSTOR in
user space; during and after signal processing on the x86 platform, the
XSAVE contents of the process should not be changed.
This series introduces only the most basic XSAVE tests. In the
future, the intention is to continue expanding the scope of
these selftests to include more kernel XSAVE-related functionality
and XSAVE-managed features like AMX and shadow stacks.
========
- Change from v3 to v4:
- Improve the comment in patch 1.
- Change from v2 to v3:
- Improve the description of patch 2 git log.
- Change from v1 to v2:
- Improve the cover-letter. (Dave Hansen)
