Dave Martin 07d79fe7c2 arm64/sve: KVM: Hide SVE from CPU features exposed to guests
KVM guests cannot currently use SVE, because SVE is always
configured to trap to EL2.

However, a guest that sees SVE reported as present in
ID_AA64PFR0_EL1 may legitimately expect that SVE works and try to
use it.  Instead of working, the guest will receive an injected
undef exception, which may cause the guest to oops or go into a
spin.

To avoid misleading the guest into believing that SVE will work,
this patch masks out the SVE field from ID_AA64PFR0_EL1 when a
guest attempts to read this register.  No support is explicitly
added for ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 either, so that is still emulated as
reading as zero, which is consistent with SVE not being
implemented.

This is a temporary measure, and will be removed in a later series
when full KVM support for SVE is implemented.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
