[RFC PATCH v2 29/41] prctl: Add skeleton for PR_SVE_{SET, GET}_VL controls

Dave Martin Dave.Martin at arm.com
Wed Mar 22 07:50:59 PDT 2017


This patch adds a do-nothing skeleton for the arm64 Scalable Vector
Extension control prctls.

These prctls are only avilable with

    CONFIG_ARM64=y
    CONFIG_ARM64_SVE=y

Otherwise they will compile out and return -EINVAL if attempted
from userspace.

The backend functions sve_{set,get}_task_vl() will be fleshed out
with actual functionality in subsequent patches.
