Hi all,

This patch series fixes and adds two selftests in the arm64 hwcap
test suite.

Patch 1/2 fixes the sve2p1_sigill() test to correctly detect the
FEAT_SVE2p1 feature. Previously, the test incorrectly assumed that
the presence of FEAT_SVE2.1 implied support for the BFADD
instruction, which actually depends on the FEAT_SVE_B16B16 feature.
The test is updated to use the LD1Q instruction, which is
unambiguously implied by FEAT_SVE2p1.

Patch 2/2 implements the cmpbr_sigill() test to correctly detect
the presence of the CMPBR extension. The test uses the CBEQ
instruction, which is valid only if the CPU supports the extension.
If supported, a branch is taken and the UDF instruction is skipped,
avoiding a SIGILL. Otherwise, the UDF is executed and a SIGILL
is generated.

These changes improve the accuracy and reliability of the selftests
for arm64 hardware capability detection.

Applied first patch to arm64 (for-next/fixes), thanks!

HiWill,

Gentle ping on patch 2/2. I have received a Reviewed-by from Mark Brown

and there have been no further review comments so far.

Could you please consider applying it if everything looks good?

Wrong branch, it's for-next/kselftest (script got confused).
