Chao further identified [2] a reproducible scenarios involving signal delivery: a non-AMX task is preempted by an AMX-enabled task which modifies the XFD MSR.
When the non-AMX task resumes and reloads XSTATE with init values, a warning is triggered due to a mismatch between fpstate::xfd and the CPU's current XFD state. fpu__clear_user_states() does not currently re-synchronize the XFD state after such preemption.
Invoke xfd_update_state() which detects and corrects the mismatch if the dynamic feature is enabled.
This also benefits the sigreturn path, as fpu__restore_sig() may call fpu__clear_user_states() when the sigframe is inaccessible.
