Because KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID is meant to be passed (by simple-minded
VMMs) to KVM_SET_CPUID2, it cannot include any dynamic xsave states that
have not been enabled. Probing those, for example so that they can be
passed to ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM, requires a new ioctl or arch_prctl.
The latter is in fact worse, even though that is what the rest of the
API uses, because it would require supported_xcr0 to be moved from the
KVM module to the kernel just for this use. In addition, the value
would be nonsensical (or an error would have to be returned) until
the KVM module is loaded in.
Therefore, to limit the growth of system ioctls, add a /dev/kvm
variant of KVM_{GET,HAS}_DEVICE_ATTR, and implement it in x86
with just one group (0) and attribute (KVM_X86_XCOMP_GUEST_SUPP).

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.
