Add a new signal frame record for TPIDR2 using the same format as we
already use for ESR with different magic, a header with the value from the
register appended as the only data. If SME is supported then this record is
always included.

Add a new signal context type for ZT which is present in the signal frame
when ZA is enabled and ZT is supported by the system. In order to account
for the possible addition of further ZT registers in the future we make the
number of registers variable in the ABI, though currently the only possible
number is 1. We could just use a bare list head for the context since the
number of registers can be inferred from the size of the context but for
usability and future extensibility we define a header with the number of
registers and some reserved fields in it.

Szabolcs Nagy has pointed out that most of our signal frame magic numbers
are chosen to be meaningful ASCII when dumped to aid manual parsing. This
seems sensible since it might help someone parsing things out, let's
document it so people implementing new signal contexts are aware of it and
are more likely to follow it.

Implement support for ZA in signal handling in a very similar way to how
we implement support for SVE registers, using a signal context structure
with optional register state after it. Where present this register state
stores the ZA matrix as a series of horizontal vectors numbered from 0 to
VL/8 in the endinanness independent format used for vectors.

As with SVE we do not allow changes in the vector length during signal
return but we do allow ZA to be enabled or disabled.

<title>arm64/sme: Implement streaming SVE signal handling</title>

<id>85ed24dad2904f7c141911d91b7807ab02694b5e</id>
<content type='text'>
When in streaming mode we have the same set of SVE registers as we do in
regular SVE mode with the exception of FFR and the use of the SME vector
length. Provide signal handling for these registers by taking one of the
reserved words in the SVE signal context as a flags field and defining a
flag which is set for streaming mode. When the flag is set the vector
length is set to the streaming mode vector length and we save and
restore streaming mode data. We support entering or leaving streaming
mode based on the value of the flag but do not support changing the
vector length, this is not currently supported SVE signal handling.

We could instead allocate a separate record in the signal frame for the
streaming mode SVE context but this inflates the size of the maximal signal
frame required and adds complication when validating signal frames from
userspace, especially given the current structure of the code.

Any implementation of support for streaming mode vectors in signals will
have some potential for causing issues for applications that attempt to
handle SVE vectors in signals, use streaming mode but do not understand
streaming mode in their signal handling code, it is hard to identify a
case that is clearly better than any other - they all have cases where
they could cause unexpected register corruption or faults.

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:

   - A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
     than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
     other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
     the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.

   - A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
     and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.

   - Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
     markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
     will never understand, were of the opinion that
     :c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.

   - We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.

   - Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

The documentation is in a format that is very close to ReST format.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fixing tables markups;
  - adding some lists markups;
  - marking literal blocks;
  - adjust some title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
