The 'vg' register for arm64 shows up in --user_regs as available when
masking the variable AT_HWCAP with 1 << 22 returns '1' as done in
perf_regs.c.
However, in subtests for support of SVE, the check for the 'vg' register
is done by masking the variable AT_HWCAP with the value 0x200000 which
is equals to 1 << 21 instead of 1 << 22.
This results in inconsistencies on certain systems where the test
expects that the 'vg' register is not operational when it is, and
vice-versa.
During the testing on a machine that the test expected not to have the
'vg' register available, 'perf record' with the option --user-regs
showed records for the 'vg' register together with all of the others,
which means that the mask for the subtest of perf_event_attr is off by
one.
Change the value of the mask from 0x200000 to 0x400000 to correct it.

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.
