So this hunk is under for_each_extended_xfeature(i, mask) -- it skips 
the copy routine if mask[i] == 0; instead, it fills zeros.

We have this [1]:

	if (fpu_state_size_dynamic())
		mask &= (header.xfeatures | xinit->header.xcomp_bv);

If header.xfeatures[18] = 0 then mask[18] = 0 because 
xinit->header.xcomp_bv[18] = 0. Then, it won't hit that code. So, I'm 
confused about the problem that you described here.

Can you elaborate on your test case a bit? Let me try to reproduce the 
issue on my end.

Thanks,
Chang
