Do we need to change this line and the comments? I don't see any of
these was relevant to this issue. The original code semantic is to
traverse all user_xfeatures, if it is available in fpstate, copy it from
there; otherwise, copy it from init_fpstate. We do not assume the
component in init_fpstate (but not in fpstate) are all zeros, do we? If
it is safe to assume that, then it might be ok. But at least in this
patch, I want to keep the original semantics as is without the
assumption.

Same here. Let's not adding this optimization in this patch.

Nice one. Yeah both ptrace and KVM are calling this function so the above
code would also be enough to trigger the bug.


Thanks.
