From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: anshuman.khandual@arm.com (Anshuman Khandual) Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 09:36:18 +0530 Subject: [PATCH V2 0/3] Emulate MRS instructions by parsing ESR_ELx.ISS Message-ID: <1537416381-13674-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org Armv8.4-A extension enables MRS instruction encodings inside ESR_ELx.ISS during exception class ESR_ELx_EC_SYS64 (0x18). This encoding can be used to emulate MRS instructions which can avoid fetch/decode from user space thus improving performance. The patch series here enables this new method of emulating MRS instruction. For this purpose we factorizes the existing emulate_mrs() function and while here, add new macro ESR_ELx_SYS64_ISS_RT. Changes in V2: - Replaced the argument 'dst' as 'rt' in second patch per Suzuki - Added review tags from Suzuki Anshuman Khandual (3): arm64/cpufeatures: Introduce ESR_ELx_SYS64_ISS_RT() arm64/cpufeatures: Factorize emulate_mrs() arm64/cpufeatures: Emulate MRS instructions by parsing ESR_ELx.ISS arch/arm64/include/asm/cpufeature.h | 1 + arch/arm64/include/asm/esr.h | 14 ++++++++++++++ arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_emulate.h | 2 +- arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c | 25 +++++++++++++++---------- arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++---- 5 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4
