Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] arm64: introduce run-time detection of aarch32 support
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2015 17:00:36 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1441202438-27005-1-git-send-email-ynorov@caviumnetworks.com> (raw)
This is needed to avoid loading aarch32 binaries if COMPAT is enabled, but
aarch32 is not supported by specific platform.
First patch fixes hidden header dependencies in arch/arm64/include/asm/cpufeature.h.
It's not related to the issue, but helps to avoid build failure that happens
if one applies second patch only.
Second patch adds run-time detection of aarch32 support, and rejects kernel to
load such binaries, if not supported.
Tested on ThunderX.
V2:
- add missing <linux/compiler.h> for the __attribute_const__ on
cpuid_feature_extract_field;
- move cpu_feature macro under the __ASSEMBLY__ guard.
- check that all CPUs support AArch32, not the current only,
the same way as for endianness support.
