[PATCH v3 24/24] arm64: cpuinfo: Expose MIDR_EL1 and REVIDR_EL1 to sysfs

From: Suzuki K. Poulose
Date: Tue Oct 13 2015 - 13:25:54 EST


From: Steve Capper <steve.capper@xxxxxxxxxx>

It can be useful for JIT software to be aware of MIDR_EL1 and
REVIDR_EL1 to ascertain the presence of any core errata that could
affect codegen.

This patch exposes these registers through sysfs:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$ID/identification/midr
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$ID/identification/revidr

where $ID is the cpu number. For big.LITTLE systems, one can have a
mixture of cores (e.g. Cortex A53 and Cortex A57), thus all CPUs need
to be enumerated.

If the kernel does not have valid information to populate these entries
with, an empty string is returned to userspace.

Changes since V2:
- Fix errno for failures (Spotted-by: Russell King)
- Roll back, if we encounter a missing cpu device
- Return error for access to registers of CPUs not present.
