Florian Fainelli 2fb44600fe um: Fix check for _xstate for older hosts
Commit 0a98764567 ("um: Allow building and running on older
hosts") attempted to check for PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGSET under the premise
that these ptrace(2) parameters were directly linked with the presence
of the _xstate structure.

After Richard's commit 61e8d46245 ("um: Correctly check for
PTRACE_GETRESET/SETREGSET") which properly included linux/ptrace.h
instead of asm/ptrace.h, we could get into the original build failure
that I reported:

arch/x86/um/user-offsets.c: In function 'foo':
arch/x86/um/user-offsets.c:54: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to
incomplete type 'struct _xstate'

On this particular host, we do have PTRACE_GETREGSET and
PTRACE_SETREGSET defined in linux/ptrace.h, but not the structure
_xstate that should be pulled from the following include chain: signal.h
-> bits/sigcontext.h.

Correctly fix this by checking for FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 which is the correct
way to see if struct _xstate is available or not on the host.

Fixes: 0a98764567 ("um: Allow building and running on older hosts")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
