2020-03-16arm64: Basic Branch Target Identification supportDave Martin
This patch adds the bare minimum required to expose the ARMv8.5 Branch Target Identification feature to userspace. By itself, this does _not_ automatically enable BTI for any initial executable pages mapped by execve(). This will come later, but for now it should be possible to enable BTI manually on those pages by using mprotect() from within the target process. Other arches already using the generic mman.h are already using 0x10 for arch-specific prot flags, so we use that for PROT_BTI here. For consistency, signal handler entry points in BTI guarded pages are required to be annotated as such, just like any other function. This blocks a relatively minor attack vector, but comforming userspace will have the annotations anyway, so we may as well enforce them.

2020-01-22arm64: Implement archrandom.h for ARMv8.5-RNGRichard Henderson
Expose the ID_AA64ISAR0.RNDR field to userspace, as the RNG system registers are always available at EL0. Implement arch_get_random_seed_long using RNDR. Given that the TRNG is likely to be a shared resource between cores, and VMs, do not explicitly force re-seeding with RNDRRS. In order to avoid code complexity and potential issues with hetrogenous systems only provide values after cpufeature has finalized the system capabilities.

2020-01-15arm64: cpufeature: Export matrix and other features to userspaceSteven Price
Export the features introduced as part of ARMv8.6 exposed in the ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1 and ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 registers. This introduces the Matrix features (ARMv8.2-I8MM, ARMv8.2-F64MM and ARMv8.2-F32MM) along with BFloat16 (Armv8.2-BF16), speculation invalidation (SPECRES) and Data Gathering Hint (ARMv8.0-DGH).

Commit "docs/arm64: cpu-feature-registers: Documents missing visible fields" added bitfields following the convention [s, e]. However, the documentation is following [s, e] and so does the Arm ARM. Rewrite the bitfields to match the format [s, e].

2019-06-14docs: arm64: convert docs to ReST and rename to .rstMauro Carvalho Chehab
The documentation is in a format that is very close to ReST format. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines in order to identify paragraphs; - fixing tables markups; - adding some lists markups; - marking literal blocks; - adjust some title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
