[PATCH v8 04/11] arm64: errata: Require Apple IMPDEF PMUv3 traps on all CPUs
From: Akihiko Odaki
Date: Fri Jul 10 2026 - 07:16:48 EST
KVM relies on ARM64_WORKAROUND_PMUV3_IMPDEF_TRAPS as a system-wide
precondition for PMUv3 emulation on affected Apple CPUs. A local CPU
erratum is too weak for that: once the workaround is enabled, a late CPU
that misses it may still be onlined.
Make the workaround an all-early-CPU capability instead. The matcher is
still local because it depends on MIDR_EL1, but the capability is only
advertised if all early CPUs match, and late CPUs that miss it are
rejected once the capability is enabled.
