Event Timeline

Do we need to add something to the AT_HWCAP2 vector as well? Or is that stuff all SVE2 only?

This comment can go away now.

Almost all exception handlers do call userret(). If exceptions (pun is not intended) are intended (again not intended), then perhaps some explanation should be added in a form of comment.

Also, what about factoring out the userret call somewhere in a common place?

  • Remove an old comment
  • Call userret in the exception handler
  • Only tell userspace about SVE in FreeBSD userspace, Linux userspace support is missing needed syscalls
