When the value of ZT is set via ptrace we don't disable traps for SME. This means that when a the task has never used SME before then the value set via ptrace will never be seen by the target task since it will trigger a SME access trap which will flush the register state. Disable SME traps when setting ZT, this means we also need to allocate storage for SVE if it is not already allocated, for the benefit of streaming SVE.

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.
