Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] arm64: cpufeature: Fix handling of CTR_EL0

This series makes sure that we handle the CTR_EL0 field mismatches
properly, especially for the IDC field. Also, skip trapping CTR
accesses on a CPU if it matches the safe value.

Applies on arm64 for-next/core.

Changes since v1
 - Fix wrong hunk in has_cache_idc()
 - Allow a late secondary CPU with raw CTR_EL0.IDC = 0 and effective
   CTR_EL0.IDC = 1, to boot on a system without IDC available.

Suzuki K Poulose (3):
  arm64: cpufeature: ctr: Fix cpu capability check for late CPUs
  arm64: cpufeature: Fix handling of CTR_EL0.IDC field
  arm64: cpufeature: Trap CTR_EL0 access only where it is necessary
