Subject: [PATCH] arm64/sme: Document boot requirements for SME
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2021 21:42:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210720204220.22951-1-broonie@kernel.org> (raw)
Document our requirements for initialisation of the Scalable Matrix
Extension (SME) at kernel start. While we do have the ability to handle
mismatched vector lengths we will reject any late CPUs that can't support
the minimum set we determine at boot so for clarity we document a
requirement that all CPUs make the same vector length available.
