+/* Format of XSAVE extended state is:
+ struct
+ {
+ fxsave_bytes[0..463]
+ sw_usable_bytes[464..511]
+ xstate_hdr_bytes[512..575]
+ extended state regions (AVX, MPX, AVX512, PKRU, etc.)
+ };
+
+ Same memory layout will be used for the coredump NT_X86_XSTATE
+ representing the XSAVE extended state registers.
+
+ The first 8 bytes of the sw_usable_bytes[464..467] is the OS enabled
+ extended state mask, which is the same as the extended control register
+ 0 (the XFEATURE_ENABLED_MASK register), XCR0. We can use this mask
+ together with the mask saved in the xstate_hdr_bytes to determine what
+ states the processor/OS supports and what state, used or initialized,
+ the process/thread is in. */
