The "First Fault Register" (FFR) is an SVE register that mimics a
predicate register, but clears bits when a load or store fails to handle
an element of a vector. The supposed usage scenario is to initialise
this register (using SETFFR), then *read* it later on to learn about
elements that failed to load or store. Explicit writes to this register
using the WRFFR instruction are only supposed to *restore* values
previously read from the register (for context-switching only).
As the manual describes, this register holds only certain values, it:
"... contains a monotonic predicate value, in which starting from bit 0
there are zero or more 1 bits, followed only by 0 bits in any remaining
bit positions."
Any other value is UNPREDICTABLE and is not supposed to be "restored"
into the register.
The SVE test currently tries to write a signature pattern into the
register, which is *not* a canonical FFR value. Apparently the existing
setups treat UNPREDICTABLE as "read-as-written", but a new
implementation actually only stores canonical values. As a consequence,
the sve-test fails immediately when comparing the FFR value:
-----------
# ./sve-test
Vector length: 128 bits
PID: 207
Mismatch: PID=207, iteration=0, reg=48
Expected [cf00]
Got [0f00]
Aborted
-----------
Fix this by only populating the FFR with proper canonical values.
Effectively the requirement described above limits us to 17 unique
values over 16 bits worth of FFR, so we condense our signature down to 4
bits (2 bits from the PID, 2 bits from the generation) and generate the
canonical pattern from it. Any bits describing elements above the
minimum 128 bit are set to 0.
This aligns the FFR usage to the architecture and fixes the test on
microarchitectures implementing FFR in a more restricted way.

We track if sve-ptrace encountered a failure in a variable but don't
actually use that value when we exit the program, do so.

The SVE and FPSIMD stress tests have a spelling mistake in the output, fix
it.

Integrate the FP tests with the build system and add some documentation
for the ones run outside the kselftest infrastructure. The content in
the README was largely written by Dave Martin with edits by me.

Add wrapper scripts which invoke fpsimd-test and sve-test with several
copies per CPU such that the context switch code will be appropriately
exercised.

vlset is a small utility for use in conjunction with tests like the sve-test
stress test which allows another executable to be invoked with a configured
SVE vector length.

Add programs sve-test and fpsimd-test which spin reading and writing to
the SVE and FPSIMD registers, verifying the operations they perform. The
intended use is to leave them running to stress the context switch code's
handling of these registers which isn't compatible with what kselftest
does so they're not integrated into the framework but there's no other
obvious testsuite where they fit so let's store them here.
These tests were written by Dave Martin and lightly adapted by me.

Add a test case that does some basic verification of the SVE ptrace
interface, forking off a child with known values in the registers and
then using ptrace to inspect and manipulate the SVE registers of the
child, including in FPSIMD mode to account for sharing between the SVE
and FPSIMD registers.
This program was written by Dave Martin and modified for kselftest by
me.

Add a test case that verifies that we can enumerate the SVE vector lengths
on systems where we detect SVE, and that those SVE vector lengths are
valid. This program was written by Dave Martin and adapted to kselftest by
me.
