    arm64/sve: Document firmware support requirements in Kconfig · 5043694e
    Dave Martin 提交于
    Use of SVE by EL2 and below requires explicit support in the
    firmware.  There is no means to hide the presence of SVE from EL2,
    so a kernel configured with CONFIG_ARM64_SVE=y will typically not
    work correctly on SVE capable hardware unless the firmware does
    include the appropriate support.
    
    This is not expected to pose a problem in the wild, since platform
    integrators are responsible for ensuring that they ship up-to-date
    firmware to support their hardware.  However, developers may hit
    the issue when using mismatched compoments.
    
    In order to draw attention to the issue and how to solve it, this
    patch adds some Kconfig text giving a brief explanation and details
    of compatible firmware versions.
