Why? If the struct ever gets extended and a newer userspace runs on
an older kernel this will now trigger. Instead just clamp to
sizeof(info) .

Why ? I guess on x86_64 this will always be true, but what about
i386 ? More specifically this simply seems unnecessary and I believe this
entire check can be dropped.

This should be:
if (user_size >= (offsetof(struct amd_pmf_info, features_supported) + sizeof(features_from_user))) {

Looking at amd_pmf_populate_data() features_supported is purely a kernel -> user thing,
so why read this from userspace at all ? And why must it be non 0 ?
I believe this entire block can be dropped (instead of fixing the if condition).

So here you're clamping which means the earlier user_size > sizeof(info) above
can just be dropped.
