    x86/fpu/xstate: Don't assume the first zero xfeatures zero bit means the end · 39f1acd2

    The current xstate code in setup_xstate_features() assumes that
    the first zero bit means the end of xfeatures - but that is not
    so, the SDM clearly states that an arbitrary set of xfeatures
    might be enabled - and it is also clear from the description
    of the compaction feature that holes are possible:
    
      "13-6 Vol. 1MANAGING STATE USING THE XSAVE FEATURE SET
      [...]
    
      Compacted format. Each state component i (i ≥ 2) is located at a byte
      offset from the base address of the XSAVE area based on the XCOMP_BV
      field in the XSAVE header:
    
      — If XCOMP_BV[i] = 0, state component i is not in the XSAVE area.
    
      — If XCOMP_BV[i] = 1, the following items apply:
    
      • If XCOMP_BV[j] = 0 for every j, 2 ≤ j < i, state component i is
        located at a byte offset 576 from the base address of the XSAVE
        area. (This item applies if i is the first bit set in bits 62:2 of
        the XCOMP_BV; it implies that state component i is located at the
        beginning of the extended region.)
    
      • Otherwise, let j, 2 ≤ j < i, be the greatest value such that
        XCOMP_BV[j] = 1. Then state component i is located at a byte offset
        X from the location of state component j, where X is the number of
        bytes required for state component j as enumerated in
        CPUID.(EAX=0DH,ECX=j):EAX. (This item implies that state component i
        immediately follows the preceding state component whose bit is set
        in XCOMP_BV.)"
    
    So don't assume that the first zero xfeatures bit means the end of
    all xfeatures - iterate through all of them.
    
    I'm not aware of hardware that triggers this currently.
