[PATCH v2 14/28] arm64/sve: Backend logic for setting the vector length

Dave Martin
2017-08-31T17:00:46Z

This patch implements the core logic for changing a task's vector
length on request from userspace. This will be used by the ptrace
and prctl frontends that are implemented in later patches.

The SVE architecture permits, but does not require, implementations
to support vector lengths that are not a power of two. To handle
this, logic is added to check a requested vector length against a
possibly sparse bitmap of available vector lengths at runtime, so
that the best supported value can be chosen.

Changes since v1
----------------

Requested by Alex Bennée:

* Comment the definition of SVE_VL_ARCH_MAX.

* Thin out BUG_ON()s:
Redundant BUG_ON()s and ones that just check invariants are removed.
Important sanity-checks are migrated to WARN_ON()s, with some
minimal best-effort patch-up code.

Other changes related Alex Bennée's comments:

* sve_max_vl is definitely not supposed to be changed after boot.
Make it official by marking it __ro_after_init.

* Migrate away from magic number for SVE_VQ_BYTES.
