KVM: arm64/sve: Add SVE support to register access ioctl interface
This patch adds the following registers for access via the KVM_{GET,SET}_ONE_REG interface: * KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_ZREG(n, i) (n = 0..31) (in 2048-bit slices) * KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_PREG(n, i) (n = 0..15) (in 256-bit slices) * KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_FFR(i) (in 256-bit slices) In order to adapt gracefully to future architectural extensions, the registers are logically divided up into slices as noted above: the i parameter denotes the slice index. This allows us to reserve space in the ABI for future expansion of these registers. However, as of today the architecture does not permit registers to be larger than a single slice, so no code is needed in the kernel to expose additional slices, for now. The code can be extended later as needed to expose them up to a maximum of 32 slices (as carved out in the architecture itself) if they really exist someday. The registers are only visible for vcpus that have SVE enabled. They are not enumerated by KVM_GET_REG_LIST on vcpus that do not have SVE. Accesses to the FPSIMD registers via KVM_REG_ARM_CORE is not allowed for SVE-enabled vcpus: SVE-aware userspace can use the KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_ZREG() interface instead to access the same register state. This avoids some complex and pointless emulation in the kernel to convert between the two views of these aliased registers. Signed-off-by:Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com> Reviewed-by:
