SVE provides an instruction RDVL which reports the currently configured
vector length. In order to validate that our vector length configuration
interfaces are working correctly without having to build the C code for
our test programs with SVE enabled provide a trivial assembly library
with a C callable function that executes RDVL. Since these interfaces
also control behaviour on exec*() provide a trivial wrapper program which
reports the currently configured vector length on stdout, tests can use
this to verify that behaviour on exec*() is as expected.

In preparation for providing similar helper functionality for SME, the
Scalable Matrix Extension, which allows separately configured vector
lengths to be read back both the assembler function and wrapper binary
have SVE included in their name.

This works, but can we use an ACLE intrinsic for this?  I'm pretty GCC
and LLVM have been up to date with that stuff for some time, though
you'd have to check with the compiler folks.

Alternatively:

static int rvdl_sve(void)
{
	int vl;

	asm ("rvdl %0, #1" : "=r" (vl));

	return vl;
}

would also work.

&rdvl_sve would not be the same in different translation units, but I
don't think the tests care about that(?)

[...]

Cheers
