In order to avoid needlessly saving and restoring the guest registers KVM relies on the host FPSMID code to save the guest registers when we context switch away from the guest. This is done by binding the KVM guest state to the CPU on top of the task state that was originally there, then carefully managing the TIF_SVE flag for the task to cause the host to save the full SVE state when needed regardless of the needs of the host task. This works well enough but isn't terribly direct about what is going on and makes it much more complicated to try to optimise what we're doing with the SVE register state. Let's instead have KVM pass in the register state it wants saving when it binds to the CPU. We introduce a new FP_STATE_CURRENT for use during normal task binding to indicate that we should base our decisions on the current task. This should not be used when actually saving. Ideally we might want to use a separate enum for the type to save but this enum and the enum values would then need to be named which has problems with clarity and ambiguity. In order to ease any future debugging that might be required this patch does not actually update any of the decision making about what to save, it merely starts tracking the new information and warns if the requested state is not what we would otherwise have decided to save.

README
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.
