[PATCH RT 05/12 rc3] KVM: fix XSAVE bit scanning (now properly)

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Date: 2011-12-05 23:03:10
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Andre Przywara <redacted>

commit 123108f1c1aafd51d6a5c79cc04d7999dd88a930 tried to fix KVMs
XSAVE valid feature scanning, but it was wrong. It was not considering
the sparse nature of this bitfield, instead reading values from
uninitialized members of the entries array.
This patch now separates subleaf indicies from KVM's array indicies
and fills the entry before querying it's value.
This fixes AVX support in KVM guests.
