Steve Capper 63f1e5fb8f arm64: mm: Prevent mismatched 52-bit VA support
[ Upstream commit a96a33b1ca57dbea4285893dedf290aeb8eb090b ]

For cases where there is a mismatch in ARMv8.2-LVA support between CPUs
we have to be careful in allowing secondary CPUs to boot if 52-bit
virtual addresses have already been enabled on the boot CPU.

This patch adds code to the secondary startup path. If the boot CPU has
enabled 52-bit VAs then ID_AA64MMFR2_EL1 is checked to see if the
secondary can also enable 52-bit support. If not, the secondary is
prevented from booting and an error message is displayed indicating why.

Technically this patch could be implemented using the cpufeature code
when considering 52-bit userspace support. However, we employ low level
checks here as the cpufeature code won't be able to run if we have
mismatched 52-bit kernel va support.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
