<title>arm64: move sve_user_{enable,disable} to &lt;asm/fpsimd.h&gt;</title>

<id>f9209e26293300db80a57a6bf2f71ccb26ad45db</id>
<content type='text'>
In subsequent patches, we'll want to make use of sve_user_enable() and
sve_user_disable() outside of kernel/fpsimd.c. Let's move these to
&lt;asm/fpsimd.h&gt; where we can make use of them.

To avoid ifdeffery in sequences like:

if (system_supports_sve() &amp;&amp; some_condition)
	sve_user_disable();

... empty stubs are provided when support for SVE is not enabled. Note
that system_supports_sve() contains as IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_SVE), so
the sve_user_disable() call should be optimized away entirely when
CONFIG_ARM64_SVE is not selected.

To ensure that this is the case, the stub definitions contain a
BUILD_BUG(), as we do for other stubs for which calls should always be
optimized away when the relevant config option is not selected.

At the same time, the include list of &lt;asm/fpsimd.h&gt; is sorted while
adding &lt;asm/sysreg.h&gt;.

<content type='text'>
Now that we have sysreg_clear_set(), we can use this instead of
change_cpacr().

Note that the order of the set and clear arguments differs between
change_cpacr() and sysreg_clear_set(), so these are flipped as part of
the conversion. Also, sve_user_enable() redundantly clears
CPACR_EL1_ZEN_EL0EN before setting it; this is removed for clarity.

     dev_warn() to dev_dbg() in arm-ccn event_init(), miscellaneous
     cleanups

   - cmpwait() WFE optimisation to avoid some spurious wakeups

   - L1_CACHE_BYTES reverted back to 64 (for performance reasons that
     have to do with some network allocations) while keeping
     ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 128. cache_line_size() returns the actual

<content type='text'>
Now that the kernel SVE support is reasonably mature, it is
excessive to default sve_max_vl to the invalid value -1 and then
sprinkle WARN_ON()s around the place to make sure it has been
initialised before use.  The cpufeatures code already runs pretty
early, and will ensure sve_max_vl gets initialised.

This patch initialises sve_max_vl to something sane that will be
supported by every SVE implementation, and removes most of the
sanity checks.

The checks in find_supported_vector_length() are retained for now.
If anything goes horribly wrong, we are likely to trip a check here
sooner or later.

Now that the host SVE context can be saved on demand from Hyp,
there is no longer any need to save this state in advance before
entering the guest.

This patch removes the relevant call to
kvm_fpsimd_flush_cpu_state().

Since the problem that function was intended to solve now no longer
exists, the function and its dependencies are also deleted.

<title>arm64/sve: Move sve_pffr() to fpsimd.h and make inline</title>

<id>9a6e594869b29ccec4f99db83c071e4f2dbfc11f</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to make sve_save_state()/sve_load_state() more easily
reusable and to get rid of a potential branch on context switch
critical paths, this patch makes sve_pffr() inline and moves it to
fpsimd.h.

&lt;asm/processor.h&gt; must be included in fpsimd.h in order to make
this work, and this creates an #include cycle that is tricky to
avoid without modifying core code, due to the way the PR_SVE_*()
prctl helpers are included in the core prctl implementation.

Instead of breaking the cycle, this patch defers inclusion of
&lt;asm/fpsimd.h&gt; in &lt;asm/processor.h&gt; until the point where it is
actually needed: i.e., immediately before the prctl definitions.

No functional change.

In order to make sve_save_state()/sve_load_state() more easily
reusable and to get rid of a potential branch on context switch
critical paths, this patch makes sve_pffr() inline and moves it to
fpsimd.h.

&lt;asm/processor.h&gt; must be included in fpsimd.h in order to make
this work, and this creates an #include cycle that is tricky to
avoid without modifying core code, due to the way the PR_SVE_*()
prctl helpers are included in the core prctl implementation.

Instead of breaking the cycle, this patch defers inclusion of
&lt;asm/fpsimd.h&gt; in &lt;asm/processor.h&gt; until the point where it is
actually needed: i.e., immediately before the prctl definitions.

No functional change.

<title>arm64/sve: Switch sve_pffr() argument from task to thread</title>

sve_pffr(), which is used to derive the base address used for
low-level SVE save/restore routines, currently takes the relevant
task_struct as an argument.

The only accessed fields are actually part of thread_struct, so
this patch changes the argument type accordingly.  This is done in
preparation for moving this function to a header, where we do not
want to have to include &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; due to the consequent
circular #include problems.

No functional change.

<title>arm64/sve: Move read_zcr_features() out of cpufeature.h</title>

Having read_zcr_features() inline in cpufeature.h results in that
header requiring #includes which make it hard to include
&lt;asm/fpsimd.h&gt; elsewhere without triggering header inclusion
cycles.

This is not a hot-path function and arguably should not be in
cpufeature.h in the first place, so this patch moves it to
fpsimd.c, compiled conditionally if CONFIG_ARM64_SVE=y.

This allows some SVE-related #includes to be dropped from
cpufeature.h, which will ease future maintenance.

A couple of missing #includes of &lt;asm/fpsimd.h&gt; are exposed by this
change under arch/arm64/.  This patch adds the missing #includes as
necessary.

No functional change.
