[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] target/arm: SB and PredRes extensions

[Richard Henderson]

Both of these are defined by the ARMv8.5 spec, but back-defined
as v8.0 extensions.

All of the relevant instructions are nops within QEMU.  Tested by
locally setting SCTLR_EL1.EnRCTX for aarch64-linux-user and then
executing each of the insns to see that they decode properly.

The SB extension is already upstream in linux 5.0-rc1, with the
HWCAP entry.  The PredRes extension has no upstream support yet,
so we need to wait to see what they do for userland ABI.
