[PATCH v2 10/28] arm64/sve: Low-level CPU setup

Dave Martin Dave.Martin at arm.com

To enable the kernel to use SVE, all SVE traps from EL1 must be
disabled.  To take maximum advantage of the hardware, the full
available vector length also needs to be enabled for EL1 by
programming ZCR_EL2.LEN.  (The kernel will program ZCR_EL1.LEN as
required, but this cannot override the limit set by ZCR_EL2.)

In advance of full SVE support being implemented for userspace, it
also necessary to ensure that SVE traps from EL0 are enabled.

This patch makes the appropriate changes to the primary and
secondary CPU initialisation code.
