Due to the way the effective SVE vector length is controlled and trapped at different exception levels, certain mismatches in the sets of vector lengths supported by different physical CPUs in the system may prevent straightforward virtualisation of SVE at parity with the host. This patch analyses the extent to which SVE can be virtualised safely without interfering with migration of vcpus between physical CPUs, and rejects late secondary CPUs that would erode the situation further. It is left up to KVM to decide what to do with this information.

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.
