This patch add two riscv-specific prctls, to allow usespace control the use of vector unit: * PR_RISCV_V_SET_CONTROL: control the permission to use Vector at next, or all following execve for a thread. Turning off a thread's Vector live is not possible since libraries may have registered ifunc that may execute Vector instructions. * PR_RISCV_V_GET_CONTROL: get the same permission setting for the current thread, and the setting for following execve(s).

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.
