[PATCH v12 09/24] KVM: x86: Initialize kvm_caps.supported_xss

From: Chao Gao
Date: Mon Aug 11 2025 - 22:58:54 EST


From: Yang Weijiang <weijiang.yang@xxxxxxxxx>

Set original kvm_caps.supported_xss to (host_xss & KVM_SUPPORTED_XSS) if
XSAVES is supported. host_xss contains the host supported xstate feature
bits for thread FPU context switch, KVM_SUPPORTED_XSS includes all KVM
enabled XSS feature bits, the resulting value represents the supervisor
xstates that are available to guest and are backed by host FPU framework
for swapping {guest,host} XSAVE-managed registers/MSRs.
