[PATCH 19/27] arm64/sve: Add prctl controls for userspace vector length management

Dave Martin
2017-08-09T12:05:25Z

This patch adds two arm64-specific prctls, to permit userspace to
control its vector length:

* PR_SVE_SET_VL: set the thread's SVE vector length and vector
length inheritance mode.

* PR_SVE_GET_VL: get the same information.

Although these calls shadow instruction set features in the SVE
architecture, these prctls provide additional control: the vector
length inheritance mode is Linux-specific and nothing to do with
the architecture, and the architecture does not permit EL0 to set
its own vector length directly. Both can be used in portable tools
without requiring the use of SVE instructions.
