Dave Martin 9966a05c7b arm64/sve: Disentangle <uapi/asm/ptrace.h> from <uapi/asm/sigcontext.h>
Currently, <uapi/asm/sigcontext.h> provides common definitions for
describing SVE context structures that are also used by the ptrace
definitions in <uapi/asm/ptrace.h>.

For this reason, a #include of <asm/sigcontext.h> was added in
ptrace.h, but it this turns out that this can interact badly with
userspace code that tries to include ptrace.h on top of the libc
headers (which may provide their own shadow definitions for
sigcontext.h).

To make the headers easier for userspace to consume, this patch
bounces the common definitions into an __SVE_* namespace and moves
them to a backend header <uapi/asm/sve_context.h> that can be
included by the other headers as appropriate.  This should allow
ptrace.h to be used alongside libc's sigcontext.h (if any) without
ill effects.

This should make the situation unambiguous: <asm/sigcontext.h> is
the header to include for the sigframe-specific definitions, while
<asm/ptrace.h> is the header to include for ptrace-specific
definitions.

To avoid conflicting with existing usage, <asm/sigcontext.h>
remains the canonical way to get the common definitions for
SVE_VQ_MIN, sve_vq_from_vl() etc., both in userspace and in the
kernel: relying on these being defined as a side effect of
including just <asm/ptrace.h> was never intended to be safe.

README

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.
