Re: [PATCH v2 12/21] arm64/sme: Implement ZT0 ptrace support

Implement support for a new note type NT_ARM64_ZT providing access to

Should we use NT_AARCH64_ZT instead? This would align with our previous choice of PT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_MTE.

And we have a precedent with PT_AARCH64_ARCHEXT as well.

ZT0 when implemented. Since ZT0 is a register with constant size this is much simpler than for other SME state.

As ZT0 is only accessible when PSTATE.ZA is set writes to ZT0 cause PSTATE.ZA to be set, the main alternative would be to return -EBUSY in this case but this seemed more constructive. Practical users are also going to be working with ZA anyway and have some understanding of the state.

I guess the above comment means this would also need to be NT_AARCH64_ZT, but historically we've been using NT_ARM_* even for AARCH64.

So I suppose this is OK.
