Hi Dave,

This patch includes the SVE register IDs in the list returned by
KVM_GET_REG_LIST, as appropriate.

On a non-SVE-enabled vcpu, no new IDs are added.

On an SVE-enabled vcpu, IDs for the FPSIMD V-registers are removed
from the list, since userspace is required to access the Z-
registers instead in order to access the V-register content.  For
the variably-sized SVE registers, the appropriate set of slice IDs
are enumerated, depending on the maximum vector length for the
vcpu.

As it currently stands, the SVE architecture never requires more
than one slice to exist per register, so this patch adds no
explicit support for enumerating multiple slices.  The code can be
extended straightforwardly to support this in the future, if
needed.

Changes since v5:

(Dropped Julien Thierry's Reviewed-by due to non-trivial rebasing)

 * Move mis-split reword to prevent put_user()s being accidentally the
   correct size from KVM: arm64/sve: Add pseudo-register for the guest's
   vector lengths.

Nit: Might be worth introducing a macro/inline function for the number
of slices supported. This way, the day we need to change that, we only
need to look for that identifier.
... Reasonable point, but I wanted to avoid inventing anything
prematurely, partly because sve_reg_to_region() will need work in order
to support multiple slices (though it's not rocket science).

I could introduce something like the following:

static unsigned int sve_num_slices(const struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
	unsigned int slice_size = KVM_REG_SIZE(KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_ZREG(0, 0));
	unsigned int slices = DIV_ROUND_UP(vcpu->arch.sve_max_vl, slice_size);

	/*
	 * For now, the SVE register ioctl access code won't work
	 * properly with multiple register slices.  KVM should prevent
	 * configuration of a vcpu with a maximum vector length large
	 * enough to trigger this:
	 */
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(slices > 1))
		return 1;

	return slices;
}

This may be clearer, but felt a bit like overkill...

Thoughts?
Seems a bit overkill yes... I was more thinking of a define and the
person in charge of adding the slice support would just need to look for
references to that define to know (some of) the places that would need
rework/review.

So, unless someone else thinks it's good to introduce it right now you
can ignore that.

Thanks,
