arm64/sve: Core task context handling
This patch adds the core support for switching and managing the SVE architectural state of user tasks. Calls to the existing FPSIMD low-level save/restore functions are factored out as new functions task_fpsimd_{save,load}(), since SVE now dynamically may or may not need to be handled at these points depending on the kernel configuration, hardware features discovered at boot, and the runtime state of the task. To make these decisions as fast as possible, const cpucaps are used where feasible, via the system_supports_sve() helper. The SVE registers are only tracked for threads that have explicitly used SVE, indicated by the new thread flag TIF_SVE. Otherwise, the FPSIMD view of the architectural state is stored in thread.fpsimd_state as usual. When in use, the SVE registers are not stored directly in thread_struct due to their potentially large and variable size. Because the task_struct slab allocator must be configured very early during kernel boot, it is also tricky to configure it correctly to match the maximum vector length provided by the hardware, since this depends on examining secondary CPUs as well as the primary. Instead, a pointer sve_state in thread_struct points to a dynamically allocated buffer containing the SVE register data, and code is added to allocate and free this buffer at appropriate times. TIF_SVE is set when taking an SVE access trap from userspace, if suitable hardware support has been detected. This enables SVE for the thread: a subsequent return to userspace will disable the trap accordingly. If such a trap is taken without sufficient system- wide hardware support, SIGILL is sent to the thread instead as if an undefined instruction had been executed: this may happen if userspace tries to use SVE in a system where not all CPUs support it for example. The kernel will clear TIF_SVE and disable SVE for the thread whenever an explicit syscall is made by userspace. For backwards compatibility reasons and conformance with the spirit of the base AArch64 procedure call standard, the subset of the SVE register state that aliases the FPSIMD registers is still preserved across a syscall even if this happens. The remainder of the SVE register state logically becomes zero at syscall entry, though the actual zeroing work is currently deferred until the thread next tries to use SVE, causing another trap to the kernel. This implementation is suboptimal: in the future, the fastpath case may be optimised to zero the registers in-place and leave SVE enabled for the task, where beneficial. TIF_SVE is also cleared in the following slowpath cases, which are taken as reasonable hints that the task may no longer use SVE: * exec * fork and clone Code is added to sync data between thread.fpsimd_state and thread.sve_state whenever enabling/disabling SVE, in a manner consistent with the SVE architectural programmer's model.
