commit 0a987645672ebde7844a9c0732a5a25f3d4bb6c6 upstream.
Commit a78ff1112263 ("um: add extended processor state save/restore support") and b6024b21fec8 ("um: extend fpstate to _xstate to support YMM registers") forced the use of the x86 FP _xstate and PTRACE_GETREGSET/SETREGSET. On older hosts, we would neither be able to build UML nor run it anymore with these two commits applied because we don't have definitions for struct _xstate nor these two ptrace requests.
We can determine at build time which fp context structure to check against, just like we can keep using the old i387 fp save/restore if PTRACE_GETRESET/SETREGSET are not defined.

No need for change-id in upstream patches :)
let me see if I can just take what is already in 4.13 directly...
Alessio,
Do we also need 2fb44600fe784 ("um: Fix check for _xstate for older hosts")?
