Subject: [PATCH v3] arm64: Add the arm64.no32bit_el0 command line option
Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2024 12:28:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240429102833.6426-1-andrea.porta@suse.com> (raw)

Introducing the field 'el0' to the idreg-override for register
ID_AA64PFR0_EL1. This field is also aliased to the new kernel
command line option 'arm64.no32bit_el0' as a more recognizable
and mnemonic name to disable the execution of 32 bit userspace
applications (i.e. avoid Aarch32 execution state in EL0) from
kernel command line.

Changes in V3:
- idreg-override.c has been moved to arch/arm64/kernel/pi/
directory, so this patch revision adjust for that change.
