The gap handling in copy_xstate_to_kernel() is wrong when XSAVES is in
use.
Using init_fpstate for copying the init state of features which are
not set in the xstate header is only correct for the legacy area, but
not for the extended features area because when XSAVES is in use then
init_fpstate is in compacted form which means the xstate offsets which
are used to copy from init_fpstate are not valid.
Fortunately, this is not a real problem today because all extended
features in use have an all-zeros init state, but it is wrong
nevertheless and with a potentially dynamically sized init_fpstate this
would result in an access outside of the init_fpstate.
Fix this by keeping track of the last copied state in the target buffer and
explicitly zero it when there is a feature or alignment gap.
Use the compacted offset when accessing the extended feature space in
init_fpstate.
As this is not a functional issue on older kernels this is intentionally
not tagged for stable.

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 Restructured Text 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.
