Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: advertise availability of v8 Crypto instructions
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 12:51:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1425556302-3370-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
When running the 32-bit ARM kernel on ARMv8 capable bare metal (e.g.,
32-bit Android userland and kernel on a Cortex-A53), or as a KVM guest
on a 64-bit host, we should advertise the availability of the Crypto
instructions, so that userland libraries such as OpenSSL may use them.
(Support for the v8 Crypto instructions in the 32-bit build was added
to OpenSSL more than six months ago)
This adds the ID feature bit detection, and sets elf_hwcap2 accordingly.
Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

v2:
- drop redundant architecture check -> accessing ID_ISAR5 should be safe
even on v7-M, and even if we don't expect to find crypto features there
- add comment regarding pmull->aes
