[CRIU] [PATCH 6/8] compel/x86: Add workaround on ptrace() bug on Skylake

[Dmitry Safonov]

On Skylake processors and kernel older than v4.14
    ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET, pid, NT_X86_XSTATE, iov)
may return not full xstate, ommiting FP part (that is XFEATURE_MASK_FP).
There is a patch which describes this bug:
  https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1318800.html
Anyway, it's fixed in v4.14 kernel by (what we believe with Andrey) this:
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9567939/

As we still support kernels from v3.10 and newer, we need to have a
workaround for this kernel bug on Skylake CPUs.

Big thanks to Shlomi for the reports, the effort and for providing an
Amazon VM to test this. I wish more bug reporters were like you.
