arm64: Add support for FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V}

2026-01-22T13:24:49+00:00

Armv8.7 introduces single-copy atomic 64-byte loads and stores instructions and its variants named under FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V}. These features are identified by ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.LS64 and the use of such instructions in userspace (EL0) can be trapped. As st64bv (FEAT_LS64_V) and st64bv0 (FEAT_LS64_ACCDATA) can not be tell apart, FEAT_LS64 and FEAT_LS64_ACCDATA which will be supported in later patch will be exported to userspace, FEAT_LS64_V will be enabled only in kernel. In order to support the use of corresponding instructions in userspace: - Make ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.LS64 visbile to userspace - Add identifying and enabling in the cpufeature list - Expose these support of these features to userspace through HWCAP3 and cpuinfo ld64b/st64b (FEAT_LS64) and st64bv (FEAT_LS64_V) is intended for special memory (device memory) so requires support by the CPU, system and target memory location (device that support these instructions). The HWCAP3_LS64, implies the support of CPU and system (since no identification method from system, so SoC vendors should advertise support in the CPU if system also support them). Otherwise for ld64b/st64b the atomicity may not be guaranteed or a DABT will be generated, so users (probably userspace driver developer) should make sure the target memory (device) also have the support. For st64bv 0xffffffffffffffff will be returned as status result for unsupported memory so user should check it. Document the restrictions along with HWCAP3_LS64.

arm64/hwcap: Add hwcap for FEAT_LSFE

2025-09-16T18:55:11+00:00

FEAT_LSFE (Large System Float Extension), providing atomic floating point memory operations, is optional from v9.5. This feature adds no new architectural stare and we have no immediate use for it in the kernel so simply provide a hwcap for it to support discovery by userspace.

arm64/hwcaps: Add MTE_STORE_ONLY hwcaps

2025-07-02T17:49:04+00:00

Since ARMv8.9, FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY can be used to restrict raise of tag check fault on store operation only. add MTE_STORE_ONLY hwcaps so that user can use this feature.

arm64: Report address tag when FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR is supported

2025-07-02T16:44:17+00:00

If FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR (Armv8.9) is supported, bits 63:60 of the fault address are preserved in response to synchronous tag check faults (SEGV_MTESERR). This patch modifies below to support this feature: - Use the original FAR_EL1 value when an MTE tag check fault occurs, if ARM64_MTE_FAR is supported so that not only logical tag (bits 59:56) but also address tag (bits 63:60] being reported too. - Add HWCAP for mtefar to let user know bits 63:60 includes address tag information when when FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR is supported. Applications that require this information should install a signal handler with the SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS flag. While this introduces a minor ABI change, most applications do not set this flag and therefore will not be affected.
