Subject: [PATCH v13 6/8] arm64: armv8_deprecated: disable swp emulation when FEAT_LSUI present
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 17:48:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223174802.458411-7-yeoreum.yun@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260223174802.458411-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com>

The purpose of supporting LSUI is to eliminate PAN toggling.
CPUs that support LSUI are unlikely to support a 32-bit runtime.
Since environments that support both LSUI and
a 32-bit runtimeare expected to be extremely rare,
not to emulate the SWP instruction using LSUI instructions
in order to remove PAN toggling, and instead simply disable SWP emulation.
