<content type='text'>
When the SVE vector length is 128 bits then there are no bits in the Z
registers which are not shared with the V registers so we can skip them
when zeroing state not shared with FPSIMD, this results in a minor
performance improvement.

Currently there are a number of places in the SVE code where we check both
system_supports_sve() and TIF_SVE. This is a bit redundant given that we
should never get into a situation where we have set TIF_SVE without having
SVE support and it is not clear that silently ignoring a mistakenly set
TIF_SVE flag is the most sensible error handling approach. For now let's
just drop the system_supports_sve() checks since this will at least reduce
overhead a little.

Kernel mode NEON can be used in task or softirq context, but only in
a non-nesting manner, i.e., softirq context is only permitted if the
interrupt was not taken at a point where the kernel was using the NEON
in task context.

This means all users of kernel mode NEON have to be aware of this
limitation, and either need to provide scalar fallbacks that may be much
slower (up to 20x for AES instructions) and potentially less safe, or
use an asynchronous interface that defers processing to a later time
when the NEON is guaranteed to be available.

Given that grabbing and releasing the NEON is cheap, we can relax this
restriction, by increasing the granularity of kernel mode NEON code, and
always disabling softirq processing while the NEON is being used in task
context.

<title>arm64/sve: Rework SVE access trap to convert state in registers</title>

<content type='text'>
When we enable SVE usage in userspace after taking a SVE access trap we
need to ensure that the portions of the register state that are not
shared with the FPSIMD registers are zeroed. Currently we do this by
forcing the FPSIMD registers to be saved to the task struct and converting
them there. This is wasteful in the common case where the task state is
loaded into the registers and we will immediately return to userspace
since we can initialise the SVE state directly in registers instead of
accessing multiple copies of the register state in memory.

Instead in that common case do the conversion in the registers and
update the task metadata so that we can return to userspace without
spilling the register state to memory unless there is some other reason
to do so.

<title>arm64: reject prctl(PR_PAC_RESET_KEYS) on compat tasks</title>

<id>4b7a6ce71e033666d6f5a577deb7f1f5126ed889</id>
<content type='text'>
It doesn't make sense to issue prctl(PR_PAC_RESET_KEYS) on a
compat task because the 32-bit instruction set does not offer PAuth
instructions. For consistency with other 64-bit only prctls such as
{SET,GET}_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL, reject the prctl on compat tasks.

Although this is a userspace-visible change, maybe it isn't too late
to make this change given that the hardware isn't available yet and
it's very unlikely that anyone has 32-bit software that actually
depends on this succeeding.

It doesn't make sense to issue prctl(PR_PAC_RESET_KEYS) on a
compat task because the 32-bit instruction set does not offer PAuth
instructions. For consistency with other 64-bit only prctls such as
{SET,GET}_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL, reject the prctl on compat tasks.

Although this is a userspace-visible change, maybe it isn't too late
to make this change given that the hardware isn't available yet and
it's very unlikely that anyone has 32-bit software that actually
depends on this succeeding.
