[PATCH v7 20/23] arm64: cpufeatures: Allow disabling of BTI from the command-line

Mon Feb 8 04:57:29 EST 2021


In order to be able to disable BTI at runtime, whether it is
for testing purposes, or to work around HW issues, let's add
support for overriding the ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.BTI field.

This is further mapped on the arm64.nobti command-line alias.
