[PATCH 2/8] Function for reading the Aarch64 SVE vector length.

Alan Hayward
2018-05-11T10:53:14Z

Add a method for reading the SVE vector length using ptrace. This returns
0 for systems without SVE support.

Note the defines taken from Linux kernel headers in aarch64-sve-linux-ptrace.h.
See the covering email for details about this.

There are multiple ways of expressing the vector length. Thankfully these are
all wll defined. I've added convertors for going from one to the other.
Hopefully this will help to prevent future confusion.
