When SME was initially merged we did not add support for TPIDR2_EL0 to the ptrace interface, creating difficulties for debuggers in accessing lazy save state for ZA. This series implements that support, extending the existing NT_ARM_TLS regset to support the register when available, and adds kselftest coverage for the existing and new NT_ARM_TLS functionality.
Existing programs that query the size of the register set will be able to observe the increased size of the register set. Programs that assume the register set is single register will see no change. On systems that do not support SME TPIDR2_EL0 will read as 0 and writes will be ignored, support for SME should be queried via hwcaps as normal.
v4: - Rebase onto v6.0-rc3. v3: - Fix copyright date on test program. v2: - Rebase onto v6.0-rc1.
