<content type='text'>
The asynchronous aborts are generally fatal for the kernel but they can
be masked via the pstate A bit. If a system error happens while in
kernel mode, it won't be visible until returning to user space. This
patch enables this kind of abort early to help identifying the cause.

<title>ARM64: DT: define ARM64 specific arch_match_cpu_phys_id</title>

<id>6e15d0e04bfeaa5662a289ee915273307326e45a</id>
<content type='text'>
OF/DT core library provides architecture specific hook to match the
logical cpu index with the corresponding physical identifier.

On ARM64, the MPIDR_EL1 contains specific bitfields(MPIDR_EL1.Aff{3..0})
which uniquely identify a CPU, in addition to some non-identifying
information and reserved bits. The ARM cpu binding defines the 'reg'
property to only contain the affinity bits, and any cpu nodes with other
bits set in their 'reg' entry are skipped.

This patch overrides the weak definition of arch_match_cpu_phys_id
with ARM64 specific version using MPIDR_EL1.Aff{3..0} as cpu physical
identifiers.

<title>arm64: read enable-method for CPU0</title>

<id>e8765b265a69c83504afc6901d6e137b1811d1f0</id>
<content type='text'>
With the advent of CPU_HOTPLUG, the enable-method property for CPU0 may
tells us something useful (i.e. how to hotplug it back on), so we must
read it along with all the enable-method for all the other CPUs.  Even
on UP the enable-method may tell us useful information (e.g. if a core
has some mechanism that might be usable for cpuidle), so we should
always read it.

This patch factors out the reading of the enable method, and ensures
that CPU0's enable method is read regardless of whether the kernel is
built with SMP support.

This patch adds support for configuring the event stream frequency
and enabling it.

It also adds the hwcaps as well as compat-specific definitions to
the user to detect this event stream feature.
