Subject: [PATCH v4 5/6] arm64/boot: Enable EL2 requirements for FEAT_Debugv8p9
Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:29:47 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407-arm-debug-8-9-v4-5-a4864e69b0ea@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260407-arm-debug-8-9-v4-0-a4864e69b0ea@kernel.org>

From: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@arm.com>

Fine grained trap control for MDSELR_EL1 register needs to be configured in
HDFGRTR2_EL2, and HDFGWTR2_EL2 registers when kernel enters at EL1, but EL2
is also present.

MDCR_EL2.EBWE needs to be enabled for additional (beyond 16) breakpoint and
watchpoint exceptions when kernel enters at EL1, but EL2 is also present.

While here, also update booting.rst with MDCR_EL3 and SCR_EL3 requirements.

v4:
 - Add that the requirements only apply when there are >16
   breakpoints/watchpoints
 - Adapt to changes in v7.0-rc1
