[PATCH v2 0/4] x86/fpu: Restore and reinforce signal frame portability

[Andrei Vagin <avagin@google.com>]

The x86 signal frame is designed to be self-describing. The xstate_size
field in the software-reserved bytes indicates the actual size of the
xstate context and is used by the kernel to locate the FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2
marker during signal return.

This design is required to provide portability of signal frames across
different machines. For example, a process checkpointed on a system with
fewer xstate features and restored on a system with more features will
have a signal frame on its stack that is smaller than the destination
host's default. By relying on the frame's internal xstate_size, the
kernel can correctly validate and restore such frames.

This series addresses a regression introduced in commit dc8aa31a7ac2
("x86/fpu: Refine and simplify the magic number check during signal
return").

v2: Address sashiko comments.
