24  * The structure layout of user_xstateregs, used for exporting the
25  * extended register state through ptrace and core-dump (NT_X86_XSTATE note)
26  * interfaces will be same as the memory layout of xsave used by the processor
27  * (except for the bytes 464..511, which can be used by the software) and hence
28  * the size of this structure varies depending on the features supported by the
29  * processor and OS. The size of the structure that users need to use can be
30  * obtained by doing:
31  * cpuid_count(0xd, 0, &eax, &ptrace_xstateregs_struct_size, &ecx, &edx);
32  * i.e., cpuid.(eax=0xd,ecx=0).ebx will be the size that user (debuggers, etc.)
33  * need to use.
34  *
35  * For now, only the first 8 bytes of the software usable bytes[464..471] will
36  * be used and will be set to OS enabled xstate mask (which is same as the
37  * 64bit mask returned by the xgetbv's xCR0). Users (analyzing core dump
38  * remotely, etc.) can use this mask as well as the mask saved in the
39  * xstate_hdr bytes and interpret what states the processor/OS supports
40  * and what states are in modified/initialized conditions for the
41  * particular process/thread.
42  *
43  * Also when the user modifies certain state FP/SSE/etc through the
44  * ptrace interface, they must ensure that the xsave_hdr.xstate_bv
45  * bytes[512..519] of the memory layout are updated correspondingly.
46  * i.e., for example when FP state is modified to a non-init state,
47  * xsave_hdr.xstate_bv's bit 0 must be set to '1', when SSE is modified to
48  * non-init state, xsave_hdr.xstate_bv's bit 1 must to be set to '1', etc.
