The fpstate embedded in struct fpu is the default state for storing the FPU registers. It's sized so that the default supported features can be stored. For dynamically enabled features the register buffer is too small. The #NM handler detects first use of a feature which is disabled in the XFD MSR. After handling permission checks it recalculates the size for kernel space and user space state and invokes fpstate_realloc() which tries to reallocate fpstate and install it. Provide the allocator function which checks whether the current buffer size is sufficient and if not allocates one. If allocation is successful the new fpstate is initialized with the new features and sizes and the now enabled features is removed from the task's XFD mask. realloc_fpstate() uses vzalloc(). If use of this mechanism grows to re-allocate buffers larger than 64KB, a more sophisticated allocation scheme that includes purpose-built reclaim capability might be justified.

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.
