When we are in a syscall we will only save the FPSIMD subset even though the task still has access to the full register set, and on context switch we will only remove TIF_SVE when loading the register state. This means that the signal handling code should not assume that TIF_SVE means that the register state is stored in SVE format, it should instead check the format that was recorded during save. Fixes: 8c845e273104 ("arm64/sve: Leave SVE enabled on syscall if we don't context switch") Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240130-arm64-sve-signal-regs-v2-1-9fc6f9502782@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
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.
