I've been carrying this patch around for a bit and it's helped me solve at least a couple FPU-related bugs. In addition to using it for debugging, I also drug it out because using AVX (and AVX2/AVX-512) can have serious power consequences for a modern core. It's very important to be able to figure out who is using it. It's also insanely useful to go out and see who is using a given feature, like MPX or Memory Protection Keys. If you, for instance, want to find all processes using protection keys, you can do: echo 'xfeatures & 0x200' > filter Since 0x200 is the protection keys feature bit. Note that this touches the KVM code. KVM did a CREATE_TRACE_POINTS and then included a bunch of random headers. If anyone one of those included other tracepoints, it would have defined the *OTHER* tracepoints. That's bogus, so move it to the right place.
