What does "The layout of the XSAVE/XRSTOR save > area is fixed" mean to you then? My understanding is that "fixed" means "the first area always is FPU/SSE(offset 0, size 512), the second area always is header(offset 512, size64) and for other areas, you must check the CPUID to know the details". Not the offset of each feature is fixed. See the Table 4-20 in Intel SDM volume 2, it even puts the area3 behind area4. > > Jan Best regards, Yang _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
