Subject: [PATCH v3 1/8] x86/fpu: Check for missing AVX and AVX-512 xstate bits
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 19:14:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813021506.55129-2-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813021506.55129-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

If the CPU declares AVX or AVX-512 support, verify that the
corresponding xstate bits are also set.  If not, warn and clear them.

This eliminates the perceived need for AVX and AVX-512 optimized code in
the kernel to call cpu_has_xfeatures().  That has never been universally
done, which strongly suggests that it has never really been needed in
practice, but this should remove any remaining doubt.
