arm64/fpsimd: Clear PSTATE.SM during clone()
Currently arch_dup_task_struct() doesn't handle cases where the parent task has PSTATE.SM==1. Since syscall entry exits streaming mode, the parent will usually have PSTATE.SM==0, but this can be change by ptrace after syscall entry. When this happens, arch_dup_task_struct() will initialise the new task into an invalid state. The new task inherits the parent's configuration of PSTATE.SM, but fp_type is set to FP_STATE_FPSIMD, TIF_SVE and SME may be cleared, and both sve_state and sme_state may be set to NULL. This can result in a variety of problems whenever the new task's state is manipulated, including kernel NULL pointer dereferences and leaking of streaming mode state between tasks. When ptrace is not involved, the parent will have PSTATE.SM==0 as a result of syscall entry, and the documentation in Documentation/arch/arm64/sme.rst says: | On process creation (eg, clone()) the newly created process will have | PSTATE.SM cleared. ... so make this true by using task_smstop_sm() to exit streaming mode in the child task, avoiding the problems above.
