Chao Gao dda366083e x86/fpu/xstate: Fix inconsistencies in guest FPU xfeatures 
Guest FPUs manage vCPU FPU states. They are allocated via
fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate() and are resized in fpstate_realloc() when XFD
features are enabled.

Since the introduction of guest FPUs, there have been inconsistencies in
the kernel buffer size and xfeatures:

 1. fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate() uses fpu_user_cfg since its introduction. See:

    69f6ed1d14 ("x86/fpu: Provide infrastructure for KVM FPU cleanup")
    36487e6228 ("x86/fpu: Prepare guest FPU for dynamically enabled FPU features")

 2. __fpstate_reset() references fpu_kernel_cfg to set storage attributes.

 3. fpu->guest_perm uses fpu_kernel_cfg, affecting fpstate_realloc().

A recent commit in the tip:x86/fpu tree partially addressed the inconsistency
between (1) and (3) by using fpu_kernel_cfg for size calculation in (1),
but left fpu_guest->xfeatures and fpu_guest->perm still referencing
fpu_user_cfg:

  1937e18cc3 ("x86/fpu: Fix guest FPU state buffer allocation size")

The inconsistencies within fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate() and across the
mentioned functions cause confusion.

Fix them by using fpu_kernel_cfg consistently in fpu_alloc_guest_fpstate(),
except for fields related to the UABI buffer. Referencing fpu_kernel_cfg
won't impact functionalities, as:

 1. fpu_guest->perm is overwritten shortly in fpu_init_guest_permissions()
    with fpstate->guest_perm, which already uses fpu_kernel_cfg.

 2. fpu_guest->xfeatures is solely used to check if XFD features are enabled.
    Including supervisor xfeatures doesn't affect the check.

Fixes: 36487e6228 ("x86/fpu: Prepare guest FPU for dynamically enabled FPU features")

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 reStructuredText 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.
