Until recently, the kernel could unexpectedly discard SVE state for a
period after a KVM_RUN ioctl, when the guest did not execute any
FPSIMD/SVE/SME instructions. We fixed that issue in commit:
fbc7e61195 ("KVM: arm64: Unconditionally save+flush host FPSIMD/SVE/SME state")
Add a test which tries to provoke that issue by manipulating SVE state
before/after running a guest which does not execute any FPSIMD/SVE/SME
instructions. The test executes a handful of iterations to miminize
the risk that the issue is masked by preemption.

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 reStructuredText 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.
