Prior to 7b6a2198e71794c851f39ac7a92d39692c786820, the QEMU option sve- max-vq could be used to set the vector length of the implementation. This is useful (among other reasons) for testing software compiled with a fixed SVE vector length. Since this commit, the vector length is capped at 512 bits. To reproduce the issue: $ cat rdvl.s .global _start _start: rdvl x0, #1 asr x0, x0, #4 mov x8, #93 // exit svc #0 $ aarch64-linux-gnu-as -march=armv8.2-a+sve rdvl.s -o rdvl.o $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld rdvl.o $ for vl in 1 2 4 8 16; do ../build-qemu/aarch64-linux-user/qemu-aarch64 -cpu max,sve-max-vq=$vl a.out; echo $?; done 1 2 4 4 4 For a QEMU built prior to the above revision, we get the output: 1 2 4 8 16 as expected. It seems that either the old behavior should be restored, or there should be an option to force a higher vector length?
