Hi all,
I've now posted a couple of RFC kernel patch series ([2], [1])
proposing the bulk of the Linux user/kernel ABI for the Scalable Vector
Extension (SVE) on AArch64.
There's an overview of the SVE architecture in [3] (no public specs
yet, though).
Since there are some impacts on ABI backwards compatiblity,
particularly due to enlargement of the signal frame (see [1] for more
detail), I wanted to open the discussion up to a wider group of
distro-oriented people.
The big unknown from my perspective is how much real-world software
will actually break if the signal frame grows, and what sort of
migration paths are feasible. For now, I adopt the policy of making
things safe by default and providing a means for the distro maintainer
to override it -- but this may also slow adoption unnecessarily, if
hardly any software would break anyway.
People's experience and views on this kind of issue would be much
appreciated.
Cheers
---Dave
