Hi Arnd,

apply FEAT_LSUI instruction to emulate deprecated swpX instruction.
Can you explain in the changrelog why you do this?

In particular, is this a performance optimization or is this required
for correctness in some scenario?
I think the main purpose using for this is to "remove the toggling the
PSTATE.PAN" bit. so that remove some *potential* problem which can
happen when PAN bit is cleared.
Ok, I see. This should definitely be part of the commit
log for the patch in addition to the cover letter.
Thanks. I'll add detail in next spin after receving other comments.
