[PATCH v4 0/2] arm64: Support FEAT_LSFE (Large System Float Extension)
Posted by Mark Brown 1 week, 6 days ago
FEAT_LSFE is optional from v9.5, it adds new instructions for atomic
memory operations with floating point values.  We have no immediate use
for it in kernel, provide a hwcap so userspace can discover it and allow
the ID register field to be exposed to KVM guests.

Changes in v4:
- Rebase onto arm64/for-next/cpufeature, note that both patches have
  build dependencies on this.
- Drop unneeded cc clobber in hwcap.
- Use STRFADD as the instruction probed in hwcap.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250818-arm64-lsfe-v3-0-af6f4d66eb39@kernel.org

Changes in v3:
- Rebase onto v6.17-rc1.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250703-arm64-lsfe-v2-0-eced80999cb4@kernel.org

Changes in v2:
- Fix result of vi dropping in hwcap test.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250627-arm64-lsfe-v1-0-68351c4bf741@kernel.org
