The arm64 architecture originally made the signal context a fixed size structure containing a linked list of records with the various kinds of register and other state which may be present. When SVE was implemented it was realised that it supported implementations with more state than could fit in that structure so a new record type EXTRA_CONTEXT was introduced allowing the signal context to be extended beyond the original size. Unfortunately the signal handling tests can not cope with these EXTRA_CONTEXT records at all - some support was implemented but it simply never worked.
This series contains one fix for the actual kernel, rasing an arbatrary limit which can be exceeded by SME systems, and an overhaul of the handling of EXTRA_CONTEXT in the signal tests which fixes issues which would cause spurious failures when one was encountered and then extends the tests to handle the contents of an EXTRA_CONTEXT record. This allows removal of the limits on validation of signal contexts for larger SVE and SME vector lengths from the existing test code.
The separately sent kernel fix "arm64/signal: Raise limit on stack frames" is needed for these tests to pass, tests for larger SME vector lengths trigger the issue it fixes. The fixes for baseline issues were previously sent separately.
