arm64: Explicitly require that FPSIMD instructions do not trap
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We do not explicitly require that systems with FPSIMD support and EL3 have
disabled EL3 traps when the kernel is started, while it is unlikely that
systems will get this wrong for the sake of completeness let's spell it
out.

For CPUs with Advanced SIMD and floating point support:

- If EL3 is present:

- CPTR_EL3.TFP (bit 10) must be initialised to 0b0.

- If EL2 is present and the kernel is entered at EL1:

- CPTR_EL2.TFP (bit 10) must be initialised to 0b0.

The requirements described above for CPU mode, caches, MMUs, architected
timers, coherency and system registers apply to all CPUs. All CPUs must
enter the kernel in the same exception level. Where the values documented
