    arm64: cpufeature: Extract capped perfmon fields · 8e35aa64
    Andrew Murray authored
    When emulating ID registers there is often a need to cap the version
    bits of a feature such that the guest will not use features that the
    host is not aware of. For example, when KVM mediates access to the PMU
    by emulating register accesses.
    
    Let's add a helper that extracts a performance monitors ID field and
    caps the version to a given value.
    
    Fields that identify the version of the Performance Monitors Extension
    do not follow the standard ID scheme, and instead follow the scheme
    described in ARM DDI 0487E.a page D13-2825 "Alternative ID scheme used
    for the Performance Monitors Extension version". The value 0xF means an
    IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED PMU is present, and values 0x0-OxE can be treated
    the same as an unsigned field with 0x0 meaning no PMU is present.
