Subject: [PATCH v11 19/29] KVM: arm64: Support userspace access to streaming mode Z and P registers
Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2026 01:51:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709-kvm-arm64-sme-v11-19-32799f66db9d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709-kvm-arm64-sme-v11-0-32799f66db9d@kernel.org>
SME introduces a mode called streaming mode where the Z, P and optionally
FFR registers can be accessed using the SVE instructions but with the SME
vector length. Reflect this in the ABI for accessing the guest registers by
making the vector length for the vcpu reflect the vector length that would
be seen by the guest were it running, using the SME vector length when the
guest is configured for streaming mode.
Since SME may be present without SVE we also update the existing checks for
access to the Z, P and V registers to check for either SVE or streaming
mode. When not in streaming mode the guest floating point state may be
accessed via the V registers.
Any VMM that supports SME must be aware of the need to configure streaming
mode prior to writing the floating point registers that this creates.
