From 14088540ad63c648e5cdf490412033f792d16b6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2017 17:44:18 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: use const cap for system_uses_ttbr0_pan() Since commit 4b65a5db362783ab ("arm64: Introduce uaccess_{disable,enable} functionality based on TTBR0_EL1"), system_uses_ttbr0_pan() has used cpus_have_cap() to determine whether PAN is present. Since commit a4023f682739439b ("arm64: Add hypervisor safe helper for checking constant capabilities"), which was introduced around the same time, cpus_have_cap() doesn't try to use a static key, and must always perform a load, test, and consitional branch (likely a tbnz for the latter two). Elsewhere, we moved to using cpus_have_const_cap(), which can use a static key (i.e. a non-conditional branch), which is patched at runtime when the feature is detected. This patch makes system_uses_ttbr0_pan() use cpus_have_const_cap(). The static key is likely a win for hot-paths like the uacccess primitives, and this makes our usage consistent regardless.
