Eric Biggers e63e5d5c15 x86/fpu: Introduce validate_xstate_header()
Move validation of user-supplied xstate_header into a helper function,
in preparation of calling it from both the ptrace and sigreturn syscall
paths.

The new function also considers it to be an error if *any* reserved bits
are set, whereas before we were just clearing most of them silently.

This should reduce the chance of bugs that fail to correctly validate
user-supplied XSAVE areas.  It also will expose any broken userspace
programs that set the other reserved bits; this is desirable because
such programs will lose compatibility with future CPUs and kernels if
those bits are ever used for anything.  (There shouldn't be any such
programs, and in fact in the case where the compacted format is in use
we were already validating xfeatures.  But you never know...)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
