[PATCH v1 29/38] arm64/sme: Disable streaming mode and ZA when flushing CPU state
From: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>

Subsystem:
arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers:
Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds
Both streaming mode and ZA may increase power consumption when they are enabled and streaming mode makes many FPSIMD and SVE instructions undefined which will cause problems for any kernel mode floating point so disable both when we flush the CPU state. This covers both kernel_neon_begin() and idle and after flushing the state a reload is always required anyway.
