[PATCH v3 1/7] arm64: cpufeature: add FEAT_LSUI

Tue Jun 17 11:36:29 PDT 2025


Since Armv9.6, FEAT_LSUI supplies load/store instructions
for privileged level to access user memory without clearing PSTATE.PAN bit.

Add LSUI feature so that the unprevilieged load/store instructions
could be used when kernel accesses user memory without clearing PSTATE.PAN bit.
