Subject: [PATCH 4/6] selftests/x86/xstate: Validate state reset in ptrace test
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 03:16:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110031603.698635-5-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110031603.698635-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
Clearing a feature bit in XSTATE_BV should cause the state component to
be initialized when the ptracer retrieves the state. Validate this
behavior.

I missed this before. During a review on my other thing, I realized and
now adding... Thanks, Jim Mattson!
