The XSAVE function set is organized in state components, which are a set of registers or parts of registers. So-called XSAVE-supported features are organized using state-component bitmaps, each bit corresponding to a single state component. The Intel Software Developer's Manual uses the term xstate_bv for a state-component bitmap, which is defined as XCR0 | IA32_XSS. The control register XCR0 only contains a state-component bitmap that specifies user state components, while IA32_XSS contains a state-component bitmap that specifies supervisor state components. Until now, XCR0 is used as input for target description creation in GDB. However, a following patch will add userspace support for the CET shadow stack feature by Intel. The CET state is configured in IA32_XSS and consists of 2 state components: - State component 11 used for the 2 MSRs controlling user-mode functionality for CET (CET_U state) - State component 12 used for the 3 MSRs containing shadow-stack pointers for privilege levels 0-2 (CET_S state). Reading the CET shadow stack pointer register on linux requires a separate ptrace call using NT_X86_SHSTK. To pass the CET shadow stack enablement state we would like to pass the xstate_bv value instead of xcr0 for target description creation. To prepare for that, we rename the xcr0 mask values for target description creation to xstate_bv. However, this patch doesn't add any functional changes in GDB. Future states specified in IA32_XSS such as CET will create a combined xstate_bv_mask including xcr0 register value and its corresponding bit in the state component bitmap. This combined mask will then be used to create the target descriptions. Reviewed-By: Thiago Jung Bauermann <thiago.bauermann@linaro.org> Approved-By: Luis Machado <luis.machado@arm.com>
