commitae24f6b06eupstream. The sve_save_state() and sve_load_state() functions take a 32-bit int argument that describes whether to save/restore the FFR. Their assembly implementations consume the entire 64-bit register containing this 32-bit value, and will attempt to save/restore the FFR if any bit of that 64-bit register is non-zero. Per the AAPCS64 parameter passing rules, the callee is responsible for any necessary widening, and the upper 32-bits are permitted to contain arbitrary values. If the upper 32 bits are non-zero, this could result in an unexpected attempt to save/restore the FFR, and consequently could lead to unexpected traps/undefs/faults. In practice compilers are very unlikely to generate code where the upper 32-bits would be non-zero, but they are permitted to do so. Fix this by only consuming the low 32 bits of the register, and update comments accordingly. The hyp code __sve_save_state() and __sve_restore_state() functions don't have the same latent bug as they override the full 64-bit register containing the argument.

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.
