In order to give each vcpu its own view of the SVE registers, this patch adds context storage via a new sve_state pointer in struct vcpu_arch. An additional member sve_max_vl is also added for each vcpu, to determine the maximum vector length visible to the guest and thus the value to be configured in ZCR_EL2.LEN while the vcpu is active. This also determines the layout and size of the storage in sve_state, which is read and written by the same backend functions that are used for context-switching the SVE state for host tasks. On SVE-enabled vcpus, SVE access traps are now handled by switching in the vcpu's SVE context and disabling the trap before returning to the guest. On other vcpus, the trap is not handled and an exit back to the host occurs, where the handle_sve() fallback path reflects an undefined instruction exception back to the guest, consistently with the behaviour of non-SVE-capable hardware (as was done unconditionally prior to this patch). No SVE handling is added on non-VHE-only paths, since VHE is an architectural and Kconfig prerequisite of SVE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
