KVM requires a clear separation of host user space and guest permissions
for dynamic XSTATE components.
Add a guest permissions member to struct fpu and a separate set of prctl()
arguments: ARCH_GET_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM and ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM.
The semantics are equivalent to the host user space permission control
except for the following constraints:
1) Permissions have to be requested before the first vCPU is created
2) Permissions are frozen when the first vCPU is created to ensure
consistency. Any attempt to expand permissions via the prctl() after
that point is rejected.

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.
