[PATCH v2 3/3] arm64: cpufeature: Trap CTR_EL0 access only where it is necessary

From: Suzuki K Poulose
Date: Tue Oct 09 2018 - 09:47:42 EST


When there is a mismatch in the CTR_EL0 field, we trap
access to CTR from EL0 on all CPUs to expose the safe
value. However, we could skip trapping on a CPU which
matches the safe value.
