Subject: [PATCH v2 0/1] Add option to disable mte support
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2021 10:07:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210729020717.15142-1-yee.lee@mediatek.com> (raw)

From: Yee Lee <yee.lee@mediatek.com>

For some case of low-end devices with limited resources,
an option to disable mte support is necessary.

This patch Adds an alias in id-reg override mechanism
to suppress the mte feature via passing a param.

=== Test ===
QEMU5.2 + mte
passed "arm64.nomte" in cmdline
boot log:
..(skip)
[    0.000000] CPU features: SYS_ID_AA64PFR1_EL1[11:8]: forced to 0

Changed since v2:
 - Use id-reg override machanism to suppress feature.
