Subject: [RFC PATCH 28/36] arm64: cpufeature: Detect PE support for FEAT_NMI
Date: Thu,  9 Jul 2026 13:13:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709121333.23507-29-vladimir.murzin@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709121333.23507-1-vladimir.murzin@arm.com>

From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>

Use of FEAT_NMI requires that all the PEs in the system and the GIC
have NMI support. This patch implements the PE part of that detection.

In order to avoid problematic interactions between real and pseudo NMIs
we disable the architected feature if the user has enabled pseudo NMIs
on the command line. If this is done on a system where support for the
architected feature is detected then a warning is printed during boot in
order to help users spot what is likely to be a misconfiguration.

As KVM does not care about the host kernel supporting FEAT_NMI or not
to allow guests to use it, split the CPU cap in two : ARM64_HAS_NMI is
the hardware support, ARM64_NMI is the kernel making use of it.
