Subject: [PATCH 09/15] x86/xsaves: Use xsave/xrstor for saving and restoring user space context
Date: Mon, 26 May 2014 10:01:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401123682-5384-10-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1401123682-5384-1-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com>
From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>
We use legacy xsave/xrstor for user space context. No xsaveopt or xsaves is
used here.
We don't use modified optimization which is implemented in xsaveopt and xsaves
because xrstor/xrstors might track a different application.
We don't use compacted format xsave area in xsaves for backward compatibility
because old applications which don't understand compacted format of xsave area.
This may cosume more user context memory than compacted format. But in this
way legacy applications don't need any change to work with kernel.
