Linux kernel source tree

The current FPSIMD/SVE context handling support for non-task (i.e., KVM vcpu) contexts does not take SVE into account. This means that only task contexts can safely use SVE at present. In preparation for enabling KVM guests to use SVE, it is necessary to keep track of SVE state for non-task contexts too. This patch adds the necessary support, removing assumptions from the context switch code about the location of the SVE context storage. When binding a vcpu context, its vector length is arbitrarily specified as SVE_VL_MIN for now. In any case, because TIF_SVE is presently cleared at vcpu context bind time, the specified vector length will not be used for anything yet. In later patches TIF_SVE will be set here as appropriate, and the appropriate maximum vector length for the vcpu will be passed when binding.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
