Changes from v1:
* Update the description without mentioning CPUID & XGETBV (Dave Hansen).

Changes from v2:
* Massage sentences (Bagas Sanjaya).
* Adjust the example with the (future) prctl.h.

+AMX TILE_DATA enabling example
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Below is the example of how userspace applications enable
+TILE_DATA dynamically:
+
+  1. The application first needs to query the kernel for AMX
+     support::
+
+        #include <asm/prctl.h>
+        #include <sys/syscall.h>
+        #include <stdio.h>
+        #include <unistd.h>
+
+        #ifndef ARCH_GET_XCOMP_SUPP
+        #define ARCH_GET_XCOMP_SUPP  0x1021
+        #endif
+
+        #ifndef ARCH_XCOMP_TILECFG
+        #define ARCH_XCOMP_TILECFG   17
+        #endif
+
+        #ifndef ARCH_XCOMP_TILEDATA
+        #define ARCH_XCOMP_TILEDATA  18
+        #endif
+
+        #define MASK_XCOMP_TILE      ((1 << ARCH_XCOMP_TILECFG) | \
+                                      (1 << ARCH_XCOMP_TILEDATA))
+
+        unsigned long features;
+        long rc;
+
+        ...
+
+        rc = syscall(SYS_arch_prctl, ARCH_GET_XCOMP_SUPP, &features);
+
+        if (!rc && (features & MASK_XCOMP_TILE) == MASK_XCOMP_TILE)
+            printf("AMX is available.\n");
+
+  2. After that, determining support for AMX, an application must
+     explicitly ask permission to use it::
+
+        #ifndef ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM
+        #define ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM  0x1023
+        #endif
+
+        ...
+
+        rc = syscall(SYS_arch_prctl, ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM, ARCH_XCOMP_TILEDATA);
+
+        if (!rc)
+            printf("AMX is ready for use.\n");
+
+Note this example does not include the sigaltstack preparation.
