x86/fpu/xstate: Fix xcomp_bv in XSAVES header
The compacted-format XSAVES area is determined at boot time and never changed after. The field xsave.header.xcomp_bv indicates which components are in the fixed XSAVES format. In fpstate_init() we did not set xcomp_bv to reflect the XSAVES format since at the time there is no valid data. However, after we do copy_init_fpstate_to_fpregs() in fpu__clear(), as in commit: b22cbe404a9c x86/fpu: Fix invalid FPU ptrace state after execve() and when __fpu_restore_sig() does fpu__restore() for a COMPAT-mode app, a #GP occurs. This can be easily triggered by doing valgrind on a COMPAT-mode "Hello World," as reported by Joakim Tjernlund and others: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190061 Fix it by setting xcomp_bv correctly. This patch also moves the xcomp_bv initialization to the proper place, which was in copyin_to_xsaves() as of: 4c833368f0bf x86/fpu: Set the xcomp_bv when we fake up a XSAVES area which fixed the bug too, but it's more efficient and cleaner to initialize things once per boot, not for every signal handling operation.
