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.

This patch implements the core logic for changing a task's vector length on request from userspace. This will be used by the ptrace and prctl frontends that are implemented in later patches. The SVE architecture permits, but does not require, implementations to support vector lengths that are not a power of two. To handle this, logic is added to check a requested vector length against a possibly sparse bitmap of available vector lengths at runtime, so that the best supported value can be chosen.
