------------------------------------------------------ From: Audra Mitchell audra@redhat.com Subject: selftests/mm: Update va_high_addr_switch.sh to check CPU for la57 flag Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2024 15:58:01 -0500
In order for the page table level 5 to be in use, the CPU must have the setting enabled in addition to the CONFIG option. Check for the flag to be set to avoid false test failures on systems that do not have this cpu flag set.
