    arm64/sve: Better handle failure to allocate SVE register storage · 7559b7d7
    Mark Brown authored
    Currently we "handle" failure to allocate the SVE register storage by
    doing a BUG_ON() and hoping for the best. This is obviously not great and
    the memory allocation failure will already be loud enough without the
    BUG_ON(). As the comment says it is a corner case but let's try to do a bit
    better, remove the BUG_ON() and add code to handle the failure in the
    callers.
    
    For the ptrace and signal code we can return -ENOMEM gracefully however
    we have no real error reporting path available to us for the SVE access
    trap so instead generate a SIGKILL if the allocation fails there. This
    at least means that we won't try to soldier on and end up trying to
    access the nonexistant state and while it's obviously not ideal for
    userspace SIGKILL doesn't allow any handling so minimises the ABI
    impact, making it easier to improve the interface later if we come up
    with a better idea.
