This patch uses the cpufeatures framework to determine common SVE capabilities and vector lengths, and configures the runtime SVE support code appropriately. ZCR_ELx is not really a feature register, but it is convenient to use it as a template for recording the maximum vector length supported by a CPU, using the LEN field. This field is similar to a feature field in that it is a contiguous bitfield for which we want to determine the minimum system-wide value. This patch adds ZCR as a pseudo-register in cpuinfo/cpufeatures, with appropriate custom code to populate it. Finding the minimum supported value of the LEN field is left to the cpufeatures framework in the usual way. The meaning of ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 is not architecturally defined yet, so for now we just require it to be zero. Note that much of this code is dormant and SVE still won't be used yet, since system_supports_sve() remains hardwired to false.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
