[PATCH v2 0/2] x86: Fix ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM and update the test

[Chang S. Bae]

The recent x86 dynamic state support incorporates the arch_prctl option to
request permission before using a dynamic state.

It was designed to add the requested feature in the group leader's
permission bitmask so that every thread can reference this master bitmask.
The group leader is assumed to be unchanged here. The mainline is the case
as a group leader is identified at fork() or exec() time only.

This master bitmask should include non-dynamic features always, as they
are permitted by default. Users may check them via ARCH_GET_XCOMP_PERM.

But, in hindsight, the implementation does overwrite the bitmask with the
requested bit only, instead of adding the bit to the existing one. This
overwrite effectively revokes the permission that is granted already.

Fix the code and also update the selftest to disclose the issue if there
is.

[PATCH v2 1/2] x86/arch_prctl: Fix the ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM implementation

[Chang S. Bae]

ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM is supposed to add the requested feature to the
permission bitmap of thread_group_leader()->fpu. But the code overwrites
the bitmap with the requested feature bit only rather than adding it.

Fix the code to add the request feature bit to the master bitmask.

[PATCH v2 2/2] selftests/x86/amx: Update the ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM test

[Chang S. Bae]

Update the arch_prctl test to check the permission bitmap whether the
requested feature is added as expected or not.

Every non-dynamic feature that is enabled is permitted already for use.
TILECFG is not dynamic feature. Ensure the bit is always on from
ARCH_GET_XCOMP_PERM.
