Currently, there are two methods for determining whether a chip supports specific virtualization features: 1. Reading the chip's CPU type from BIOS 2. Reading the value of the MIDR register The issue with the first method is that each time a new chip is introduced, the new CPU type must be defined, which leads to poor code portability and maintainability. Therefore, the second method has been adopted to replace the first. This approach eliminates the dependency on CPU type by using the MIDR register. liqiqi (2): kvm: arm64: Add MIDR definitions and use MIDR to determine whether features are supported kvm: arm64: Remove cpu_type definition and it's related interfaces arch/arm64/include/asm/cache.h | 2 +- arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h | 8 +- arch/arm64/kernel/cpu_errata.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kernel/proton-pack.c | 4 +- arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c | 1 - arch/arm64/kvm/hisilicon/hisi_virt.c | 110 +++-------------------- arch/arm64/kvm/hisilicon/hisi_virt.h | 12 --- drivers/perf/hisilicon/hisi_uncore_pmu.c | 2 +- tools/arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h | 4 +- 10 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 124 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0
