-ARCH_GET_XCOMP_SUPP
arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_XCOMP_SUPP, &features);

ARCH_GET_XCOMP_SUPP stores the supported features in userspace storage 
of type uint64_t. The second argument is a pointer to that storage.

-ARCH_GET_XCOMP_PERM
arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_XCOMP_PERM, &features);

ARCH_GET_XCOMP_PERM stores the features for which the userspace process 
has permission in userspace storage of type uint64_t. The second 
argument is a pointer to that storage.

Do you need something else than these?
