By default all SME operations in userspace will trap. When this happens we allocate storage space for the SME register state, set up the SVE registers and disable traps. We do not need to initialize ZA since the architecture guarantees that it will be zeroed when enabled and when we trap ZA is disabled. On syscall we exit streaming mode if we were previously in it and ensure that all but the lower 128 bits of the registers are zeroed while preserving the state of ZA. This follows the aarch64 PCS for SME, ZA state is preserved over a function call and streaming mode is exited. Since the traps for SME do not distinguish between streaming mode SVE and ZA usage if ZA is in use rather than reenabling traps we instead zero the parts of the SVE registers not shared with FPSIMD and leave SME enabled, this simplifies handling SME traps. If ZA is not in use then we reenable SME traps and fall through to normal handling of 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.
