Subject: [PATCH 1/2] arm64: cpufeature: Fix CTR_EL0 field definitions
Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2019 18:13:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190805171355.19308-2-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190805171355.19308-1-will@kernel.org>
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
commit be68a8aaf925aaf35574260bf820bb09d2f9e07f upstream.
Our field definitions for CTR_EL0 suffer from a number of problems:
- The IDC and DIC fields are missing, which causes us to enable CTR
trapping on CPUs with either of these returning non-zero values.
- The ERG is FTR_LOWER_SAFE, whereas it should be treated like CWG as
FTR_HIGHER_SAFE so that applications can use it to avoid false sharing.
- [nit] A RES1 field is described as "RAO"
This patch updates the CTR_EL0 field definitions to fix these issues.
