Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] x86: Remove cpu_has_xfeatures() and add AVX-512 xor_gen()
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 19:15:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728021603.79870-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)

This series consolidates and cleans up how the kernel handles CPU
feature flags for AVX and AVX-512 when the underlying OS or hypervisor
(if any) doesn't enable the required xstate features in XCR0.

Specifically, it makes the checks for xstate features be done in a
single place at boot time for both UML and native x86, instead of
everywhere kernel code wants to check for AVX or AVX-512 support.

Patch 8 then adds an AVX-512 optimized implementation of xor_gen() for
RAID, which had been blocked on confusion around cpu_has_xfeatures() and
its lack of implementation on UML.

Changed in v2:

  - Made x86 clear the AVX* bits if FPU or XSAVE features are missing.
  - Updated comment in x86 arch_xor_init().
  - Updated commit message for the UML commit to clarify that checking
    XCR0 is standard practice in userspace
