x86/fpu/xstate: Don't assume the first zero xfeatures zero bit means the end
The current xstate code in setup_xstate_features() assumes that the first zero bit means the end of xfeatures - but that is not so, the SDM clearly states that an arbitrary set of xfeatures might be enabled - and it is also clear from the description of the compaction feature that holes are possible: "13-6 Vol. 1MANAGING STATE USING THE XSAVE FEATURE SET [...] Compacted format. Each state component i (i ≥ 2) is located at a byte offset from the base address of the XSAVE area based on the XCOMP_BV field in the XSAVE header: — If XCOMP_BV[i] = 0, state component i is not in the XSAVE area. — If XCOMP_BV[i] = 1, the following items apply: • If XCOMP_BV[j] = 0 for every j, 2 ≤ j < i, state component i is located at a byte offset 576 from the base address of the XSAVE area. (This item applies if i is the first bit set in bits 62:2 of the XCOMP_BV; it implies that state component i is located at the beginning of the extended region.) • Otherwise, let j, 2 ≤ j < i, be the greatest value such that XCOMP_BV[j] = 1. Then state component i is located at a byte offset X from the location of state component j, where X is the number of bytes required for state component j as enumerated in CPUID.(EAX=0DH,ECX=j):EAX. (This item implies that state component i immediately follows the preceding state component whose bit is set in XCOMP_BV.)" So don't assume that the first zero xfeatures bit means the end of all xfeatures - iterate through all of them. I'm not aware of hardware that triggers this currently.
