[PATCH v9 06/30] KVM: arm64: Pay attention to FFR parameter in SVE save and load

From: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-12-23 01:22:00
Also in: kvm, kvmarm, linux-doc, linux-kselftest, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), kernel virtual machine for arm64 (kvm/arm64), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Marc Zyngier, Oliver Upton, Linus Torvalds

The hypervisor copies of the SVE save and load functions are prototyped
with third arguments specifying FFR should be accessed but the assembly
functions overwrite whatever is supplied to unconditionally access FFR.
Remove this and use the supplied parameter.

This has no effect currently since FFR is always present for SVE but will
be important for SME.
