arm64: cpufeature: discover CPU support for MPAM
maillist inclusion category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8T2RT Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/morse/linux.git/log/?h=mpam/snapshot/v6.7-rc2 --------------------------- ARMv8.4 adds support for 'Memory Partitioning And Monitoring' (MPAM) which describes an interface to cache and bandwidth controls wherever they appear in the system. Add support to detect MPAM. Like SVE, MPAM has an extra id register that describes the virtualisation support, which is optional. Detect this separately so we can detect mismatched/insane systems, but still use MPAM on the host even if the virtualisation support is missing. MPAM needs enabling at the highest implemented exception level, otherwise the register accesses trap. The 'enabled' flag is accessible to lower exception levels, but its in a register that traps when MPAM isn't enabled. The cpufeature 'matches' hook is extended to test this on one of the CPUs, so that firwmare can emulate MPAM as disabled if it is reserved for use by secure world. (If you have a boot failure that bisects here its likely your CPUs advertise MPAM in the id registers, but firmware failed to either enable or MPAM, or emulate the trap as if it were disabled) Signed-off-by:James Morse <james.morse@arm.com> Signed-off-by:
