[ Upstream commit7f049fbdd5] XRSTORS requires a valid xstate buffer to work correctly. XSAVES does not guarantee to write a fully valid buffer according to the SDM: "XSAVES does not write to any parts of the XSAVE header other than the XSTATE_BV and XCOMP_BV fields." XRSTORS triggers a #GP: "If bytes 63:16 of the XSAVE header are not all zero." It's dubious at best how this can work at all when the buffer is not zeroed before use. Allocate the buffers with __GFP_ZERO to prevent XRSTORS failure.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
