[PATCH] arm64/ptrace: Ensure that SME is set up for target when writing SSVE state

From: Mark Brown
Date: Thu Aug 10 2023 - 07:28:29 EST


When we use NT_ARM_SSVE to either enable streaming mode or change the
vector length for a process we do not currently do anything to ensure that
there is storage allocated for the SME specific register state. If the
task had not previously used SME or we changed the vector length then
the task will not have had TIF_SME set or backing storage for ZA/ZT
allocated, resulting in inconsistent register sizes when saving state
and spurious traps which flush the newly set register state.

We should set TIF_SME to disable traps and ensure that storage is
allocated for ZA and ZT if it is not already allocated. This requires
modifying sme_alloc() to make the flush of any existing register state
optional so we don't disturb existing state for ZA and ZT.

Fixes: e12310a0d30f ("arm64/sme: Implement ptrace support for streaming mode SVE registers")
