[PATCH 04/10] arm64: mops: document boot requirements for MOPS

From: Kristina Martsenko <hidden>
Date: 2023-02-16 16:01:57
Also in: kvmarm, lkml
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

FEAT_MOPS introduces new instructions, we require that these
instructions not execute as UNDEFINED when we identify that the feature
is supported. Additionally, the instructions may generate a Memory Copy
or Memory Set exception, we require that the exception be taken to EL1
in case EL2 is not able to correctly handle it.

 The requirements described above for CPU mode, caches, MMUs, architected
 timers, coherency and system registers apply to all CPUs.  All CPUs must
 enter the kernel in the same exception level.  Where the values documented
