>Description:
__getcontextx_size() compute size of "extended" cpu state, depending on the CPU features. To do it, it should check if the bit CPUID2_OSXSAVE present in the "features2" field. But actually it checks some junk instead of the "features2" bitfield. 

To get features2 field, one should execure the "cpuid" instruction with EAX==1, but the code use EAX==0. See also the amd64 counterpart (libc/amd64/gen/getcontextx.c) for the correct (I believe) code.
