Commit Message

Pengfei Xu July 5, 2022, 12:51 p.m. UTC
The XSAVE feature set supports the saving and restoring of xstate components.

In order to ensure that XSAVE works correctly, add XSAVE most basic signal
handling test for XSAVE architecture functionality, this patch tests "FP,
SSE(XMM), AVX2(YMM), AVX512_OPMASK/AVX512_ZMM_Hi256/AVX512_Hi16_ZMM and PKRU"
xstates with the following:
The contents of these xstates in the process should not change after the
signal handling.

+ * xstate.c - tests XSAVE feature with fork and signal handling.

+ * AVX512_Hi16_ZMM and PKRU parts" xstates with following cases:
+ * 1. The contents of these xstates in the process should not change after the
+ *    signal handling.
+ * 2. The contents of these xstates in the child process should be the same as
+ *    the contents of the xstate in the parent process after the fork syscall.
+ * 3. The contents of xstates in the parent process should not change after
+ *    the context switch.
+ *
+ * The regions and reserved bytes of the components tested for XSAVE feature
+ * are as follows:

+ * SSE(XMM part)  (160-415 bytes)
+ * Reserved       (416-511 bytes)
+ * Header_used    (512-527 bytes; XSTATE BV(bitmap vector) mask:512-519 bytes)
