While we don't currently support SME in guests we do currently support it for the host system so we need to take care of SME's impact, including the floating point register state, when running guests. Simiarly to SVE we need to manage the traps in CPACR_RL1, what is new is the handling of streaming mode and ZA. Normally we defer any handling of the floating point register state until the guest first uses it however if the system is in streaming mode FPSIMD and SVE operations may generate SME traps which we would need to distinguish from actual attempts by the guest to use SME. Rather than do this for the time being if we are in streaming mode when entering the guest we force the floating point state to be saved immediately and exit streaming mode, meaning that the guest won't generate SME traps for supported operations. We could handle ZA in the access trap similarly to the FPSIMD/SVE state without the disruption caused by streaming mode but for simplicity handle it the same way as streaming mode for now. This will be revisited when we support SME for guests (hopefully before SME hardware becomes available), for now it will only incur additional cost on systems with SME and even there only if streaming mode or ZA are enabled.

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.
