[PATCH v5 4/8] arm64/fpsimd: Stop using TIF_SVE to manage register saving in KVM

Mark Brown broonie at kernel.org
Tue Nov 15 01:46:36 PST 2022


Now that we are explicitly telling the host FP code which register state
it needs to save we can remove the manipulation of TIF_SVE from the KVM
code, simplifying it and allowing us to optimise our handling of normal
tasks. Remove the manipulation of TIF_SVE from KVM and instead rely on
to_save to ensure we save the correct data for it.

There should be no functional or performance impact from this change.
