Summary

This adds definitions for the latest additions to the AA64ISAR[01] ID
registers. This brings the definitions for these registers in sync with
ARMv8.6 initial spec release.

An upcoming change will parse many of these fields for HWCAP features.

"TLBIOS" and "TLBIOSR" perhaps?

We should give the macros better names, and report them differently so we can tell which we have from dmesg.

382–383 ↗(On Diff #75695)

Can you give the macros better names, e.g. _TS_CondM_8_4 and _TS_CondM_8_5

Improve the names of several macros.

What is the distinction between MRS_EXACT and MRS_LOWER? I looked but had a hard time understanding the purpose.

MRS_EXACT is shorthand for MRS_EXACT_VAL(0), i.e. always set the field to 0. MRS_LOWER will perform a comparison between the current and new field values and use the lower (signed or unsigned) of the two.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Aug 13 2020, 4:22 PM

Use MRS_LOWER for the new aa64isar1 fields. We want to expose them to userspace.
