The PTRACE_GETREGSET API has now existed since Linux 2.6.33. The XSAVE CPU feature should also be sufficiently common to be able to rely on it. With this, define our internal FP state to be the hosts XSAVE data. Add discovery for the hosts XSAVE size and place the FP registers at the end of task_struct so that we can adjust the size at runtime. Next we can implement the regset API on top and update the signal handling as well as ptrace APIs to use them. Also switch coredump creation to use the regset API and finally set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. This considerably improves the signal frames. Previously they might not have contained all the registers (i386) and also did not have the sizes and magic values set to the correct values to permit userspace to decode the frame. As a side effect, this will permit UML to run on hosts with newer CPU extensions (such as AMX) that need even more register state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
