2019-10-29arm64: Expose Arm v8.4 featuresSuzuki K Poulose
[ Upstream commit 7206dc93a58fb76421c4411eefa3c003337bcb2d ] Expose the new features introduced by Arm v8.4 extensions to Arm v8-A profile. These include : 1) Data indpendent timing of instructions. (DIT, exposed as HWCAP_DIT) 2) Unaligned atomic instructions and Single-copy atomicity of loads and stores. (AT, expose as HWCAP_USCAT) 3) LDAPR and STLR instructions with immediate offsets (extension to LRCPC, exposed as HWCAP_ILRCPC) 4) Flag manipulation instructions (TS, exposed as HWCAP_FLAGM).

2019-10-29arm64: Documentation: cpu-feature-registers: Remove RES0 fieldsSuzuki K Poulose
[ Upstream commit 847ecd3fa311cde0f10a1b66c572abb136742b1d ] Remove the invisible RES0 field entries from the table, listing fields in CPU ID feature registers, as : 1) We are only interested in the user visible fields. 2) The field description may not be up-to-date, as the field could be assigned a new meaning. 3) We already explain the rules of the fields which are not visible.

2019-10-29arm64: v8.4: Support for new floating point multiplication instructionsDongjiu Geng
[ Upstream commit 3b3b681097fae73b7f5dcdd42db6cfdf32943d4c ] ARM v8.4 extensions add new neon instructions for performing a multiplication of each FP16 element of one vector with the corresponding FP16 element of a second vector, and to add or subtract this without an intermediate rounding to the corresponding FP32 element in a third vector. This patch detects this feature and let the userspace know about it via a HWCAP bit and MRS emulation.

2019-10-29arm64: Expose support for optional ARMv8-A featuresSuzuki K Poulose
[ Upstream commit f5e035f8694c3bdddc66ea46ecda965ee6853718 ] ARMv8-A adds a few optional features for ARMv8.2 and ARMv8.3. Expose them to the userspace via HWCAPs and mrs emulation. SHA2-512 - Instruction support for SHA512 Hash algorithm (e.g SHA512H, SHA512H2, SHA512U0, SHA512SU1) SHA3 - SHA3 crypto instructions (EOR3, RAX1, XAR, BCAX). SM3 - Instruction support for Chinese cryptography algorithm SM3 SM4 - Instruction support for Chinese cryptography algorithm SM4 DP - Dot Product instructions (UDOT, SDOT).

2017-08-09arm64: Expose DC CVAP to userspaceRobin Murphy
The ARMv8.2-DCPoP feature introduces persistent memory support to the architecture, by defining a point of persistence in the memory hierarchy, and a corresponding cache maintenance operation, DC CVAP. Expose the support via HWCAP and MRS emulation.
