FEAT_LSFE is optional from v9.5, it adds new instructions for atomic memory operations with floating point values. We have no immediate use for it in kernel, provide a hwcap so userspace can discover it and allow the ID register field to be exposed to KVM guests.
Signed-off-by: Mark Brown broonie@kernel.org --- Changes in v4: - Rebase onto arm64/for-next/cpufeature, note that both patches have build dependencies on this. - Drop unneeded cc clobber in hwcap. - Use STRFADD as the instruction probed in hwcap. - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250818-arm64-lsfe-v3-0-af6f4d66eb39@kernel.org

FEAT_LSFE (Large System Float Extension), providing atomic floating point memory operations, is optional from v9.5. This feature adds no new architectural state, expose the relevant ID register field to guests so they can discover it.

We also need a test in set_id_regs.c selftest for the writability of this new feature field.
Otherwise:

Sure. We seem to be missing some existing fields from that register too.
This feature has no traps associated with it so the SIGILL is not reliable.
