From 32354dd01c29c97b68b00e9816617d50b7f3659f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suzuki K Poulose Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 14:48:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: capabilities: Introduce weak features based on local CPU [ Upstream commit 5c137714dd8cae464dbd5f028c07af149e6d09fc ] Now that we have the flexibility of defining system features based on individual CPUs, introduce CPU feature type that can be detected on a local SCOPE and ignores the conflict on late CPUs. This is applicable for ARM64_HAS_NO_HW_PREFETCH, where it is fine for the system to have CPUs without hardware prefetch turning up later. We only suffer a performance penalty, nothing fatal.
