Since the vector length configuration mechanism is identical between SVE and SME we share large elements of the code including the definition for the maximum vector length. Unfortunately when we were defining the ABI for SVE we included not only the actual maximum vector length of 2048 bits but also the value possible if all the bits reserved in the architecture for expansion of the LEN field were used, 16384 bits. This starts creating problems if we try to allocate anything for the ZA matrix based on the maximum possible vector length, as we do for the regset used with ptrace during the process of generating a core dump. While the maximum potential size for ZA with the current architecture is a reasonably managable 64K with the higher reserved limit ZA would be 64M which leads to entirely reasonable complaints from the memory management code when we try to allocate a buffer of that size. Avoid these issues by defining the actual maximum vector length for the architecture and using it for the SME regsets. Also use the full ZA_PT_SIZE() with the header rather than just the actual register payload when specifying the size, fixing support for the largest vector lengths now that we have this new, lower define. With the SVE maximum this did not cause problems due to the extra headroom we had. While we're at it add a comment clarifying why even though ZA is a single register we tell the regset code that it is a multi-register regset.

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.
