Hi

MSR ARM driver aims to provide interfacs for user to read or write data to all
system registers. Its functions is same as MSR driver (x86 platform). It mainly
depends on kprobe and undef exception to read or write system registers
dynamicly.

In addition, this module create interfaces for each core. We have tested in the
virtual machine using tree command:

$ tree /dev/cpu
/dev/cpu
|-- 0
|   `-- msr
|-- 1
|   `-- msr
|-- 2
|   `-- msr
|-- 3
|   `-- msr
|-- 4
|   `-- msr
|-- 5
|   `-- msr
|-- 6
|   `-- msr
`-- 7
    `-- msr

8 directories, 8 files

The interfaces of this module is same as MSR module in user space, and to solve
the problem that ARM platform has no similar MSR module. Using this interface,
we did some pressure tests to test the stability and security of MSR driver. The
test results show that the driver will not cause system panic if various
illegal values and multithreading concurrent access are passed through the
interface.

We also designed a user space tool: system-register-tools. We have open
sourced this tool, which link as follows:
	https://github.com/alibaba/system-register-tools
In this tools, we provide two command: rdasr and wrasr, the aboving MSR driver
has been tested by:

$ rdasr -t
  0: OSDTRRX_EL1         : UNDEFINED or unreadable!
  1: DBGBVR0_EL1         : 0x0
  2: DBGBCR0_EL1         : 0x1e0
  3: DBGWVR0_EL1         : 0x0
  4: DBGWCR0_EL1         : 0x0
  5: DBGBVR1_EL1         : 0x0
  6: DBGBCR1_EL1         : 0x1e0
  7: DBGWVR1_EL1         : 0x0
  8: DBGWCR1_EL1         : 0x0
  9: MDCCINT_EL1         : 0x0
 10: MDSCR_EL1           : 0x1000
 11: DBGBVR2_EL1         : 0x0
...
...
598: ICC_IGRPEN1_EL3     : UNDEFINED or unreadable!
599: TPIDR_EL3           : UNDEFINED or unreadable!
600: SCXTNUM_EL3         : UNDEFINED or unreadable!
601: CNTPS_TVAL_EL1      : UNDEFINED or unreadable!
602: CNTPS_CTL_EL1       : UNDEFINED or unreadable!
603: CNTPS_CVAL_EL1      : UNDEFINED or unreadable!
604: CNTPS_CVAL_EL1      : UNDEFINED or unreadable!

The test ended and no system exception occurred!
Undefined or unreadable registers: 409
Readable registers: 196

The above is a test of more than 600 system registers, and no system exception
occurred
