Subject: [Patch v4 03/17] x86/fpu/xstate: Add xsaves_nmi
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 14:11:59 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250925061213.178796-4-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250925061213.178796-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

There is a hardware feature (Intel PEBS XMMs group), which can handle
XSAVE "snapshots" from random code running. This just provides another
XSAVE data source at a random time.

Add an interface to retrieve the actual register contents when the NMI
hit. The interface is different from the other interfaces of FPU. The
other mechanisms that deal with xstate try to get something coherent.
But this interface is *in*coherent. There's no telling what was in the
registers when a NMI hits. It writes whatever was in the registers when
the NMI hit. It's the invoker's responsibility to make sure the contents
are properly filtered before exposing them to the end user.

The support of the supervisor state components is required. The
compacted storage format is preferred. So the XSAVES is used.
