Subject: Re: Candidate Linux ABI for Intel AMX and hypothetical new related features
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2021 23:39:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJvTdKm8aQPwQMXFQWgVb5dfJ88ds3d0=uHOyWeueUqfya9Nsw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CALCETrUBC34NSHj3eLScYtHJk_7ZHOVJZVPkdLUXemPEiyA_uA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Andy,

Say a mainline links with a math library that uses AMX without the
knowledge of the mainline.
Say the mainline is also linked with a userspace threading library
that thinks it has a concept of XSAVE area size.

Wouldn't the change in XCR0, resulting in XSAVE size change, risk
confusing the threading library?

thanks,
Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
