AMX TILEDATA is a very large XSAVE feature. It could have caused nasty XSAVE buffer space waste in two places: * Signal stacks * Kernel task_struct->fpu buffers To avoid this waste, neither of these buffers have AMX state by default. The non-default features are called "dynamic" features. There is an arch_prctl(ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM) which allows a task to declare that it wants to use AMX or other "dynamic" XSAVE features. This arch_prctl() ensures that sufficient sigaltstack space is available before it will succeed. It also expands the task_struct buffer. Functions of this test: * Test arch_prctl(ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM). Ensure that it checks for proper sigaltstack sizing and that the sizing is enforced for future sigaltstack calls. * Ensure that ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM is inherited across fork() * Ensure that TILEDATA use before the prctl() is fatal * Ensure that TILEDATA is cleared across fork() Note: Generally, compiler support is needed to do something with AMX. Instead, directly load AMX state from userspace with a plain XSAVE. Do not depend on the compiler. [ dhansen: bunches of cleanups ] Signed-off-by: Chang S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
