[PATCH v7 06/12] arm64/boot: Enable EL2 requirements for SPE_FEAT_FDS

James Clark james.clark at linaro.org
Thu Aug 14 02:25:28 PDT 2025


SPE data source filtering (optional from Armv8.8) requires that traps to
the filter register PMSDSFR be disabled. Document the requirements and
disable the traps if the feature is present.
