Mark Brown d3c7c48d00 arm64/sme: Move storage of reg_smidr to __cpuinfo_store_cpu()
In commit 892f7237b3 ("arm64: Delay initialisation of
cpuinfo_arm64::reg_{zcr,smcr}") we moved access to ZCR, SMCR and SMIDR
later in the boot process in order to ensure that we don't attempt to
interact with them if SVE or SME is disabled on the command line.
Unfortunately when initialising the boot CPU in init_cpu_features() we work
on a copy of the struct cpuinfo_arm64 for the boot CPU used only during
boot, not the percpu copy used by the sysfs code. The expectation of the
feature identification code was that the ID registers would be read in
__cpuinfo_store_cpu() and the values not modified by init_cpu_features().

The main reason for the original change was to avoid early accesses to
ZCR on practical systems that were seen shipping with SVE reported in ID
registers but traps enabled at EL3 and handled as fatal errors, SME was
rolled in due to the similarity with SVE. Since then we have removed the
early accesses to ZCR and SMCR in commits:

  abef0695f9 ("arm64/sve: Remove ZCR pseudo register from cpufeature code")
  391208485c ("arm64/sve: Remove SMCR pseudo register from cpufeature code")

so only the SMIDR_EL1 part of the change remains. Since SMIDR_EL1 is
only trapped via FEAT_IDST and not the SME trap it is less likely to be
affected by similar issues, and the factors that lead to issues with SVE
are less likely to apply to SME.

Since we have not yet seen practical SME systems that need to use a
command line override (and are only just beginning to see SME systems at
all) and the ID register read is much more likely to be safe let's just
store SMIDR_EL1 along with all the other ID register reads in
__cpuinfo_store_cpu().

This issue wasn't apparent when testing on emulated platforms that do not
report values in SMIDR_EL1.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
