This series enables SVE support for KVM on nVHE hardware (or more
likely, software models), and is an alternative to Daniel's patch[1]
which has gone through 3 versions, but still has a number of issues.
Instead of waiting for things to happen, I decided to try and see what
I could come up with.
The SVE save/restore is modelled after the SVE VHE flow, itself
closely following the FPSIMD flow:
- the guest traps to EL2 on first SVE access, and will not trap
anymore until vcpu_put()
- ZCR_EL2 stays constant as long as the guest has SVE enabled
- on vcpu_put(), ZCR_EL2 is restored to the default value
Most of this series only repaints things so that VHE and nVHE look as
similar as possible, the ZCR_EL2 management being the most visible
exception. This results in a bunch of preparatory patches that aim at
making the code slightly more readable.
This has been tested on a FVP model with both VHE.nVHE configurations
using the string tests included with the "optimized-routines"
library[2].
Patches against 5.12-rc2.
