Linux kernel source tree

The streaming mode SVE registers are represented using the same data structures as for SVE but since the vector lengths supported and in use may not be the same as SVE we represent them with a new type NT_ARM_SSVE. Unfortunately we only have a single 16 bit reserved field available in the header so there is no space to fit the current and maximum vector length for both standard and streaming SVE mode without redefining the structure in a way the creates a complicatd and fragile ABI. Since FFR is not present in streaming mode it is read and written as zero. Setting NT_ARM_SSVE registers will put the task into streaming mode, similarly setting NT_ARM_SVE registers will exit it. Reads that do not correspond to the current mode of the task will return the header with no register data. For compatibility reasons on write setting no flag for the register type will be interpreted as setting SVE registers, though users can provide no register data as an alternative mechanism for doing so.

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.
