f92f5ce01e arm64: Advertise support for Rounding double multiply instructions
ARM v8.1 extensions include support for rounding double multiply
add/subtract instructions to the A64 SIMD instructions set. Let
the userspace know about it via a HWCAP bit.

77c97b4ee2 arm64: cpufeature: Expose CPUID registers by emulation
This patch adds the hook for emulating MRS instruction to
export the 'user visible' value of supported system registers.
We emulate only the following id space for system registers:

 Op0=3, Op1=0, CRn=0, CRm=[0, 4-7]

The rest will fall back to SIGILL. This capability is also
advertised via a new HWCAP_CPUID.

bf50061844 arm64: Add support for Half precision floating point
ARMv8.2 extensions [1] include an optional feature, which supports
half precision(16bit) floating point/asimd data processing
instructions. This patch adds support for detecting and exposing
the same to the userspace via HWCAPs

40a1db2434 arm64: elf: advertise 8.1 atomic instructions as new hwcap
The ARM v8.1 architecture introduces new atomic instructions to the A64
instruction set for things like cmpxchg, so advertise their availability
to userspace using a hwcap.

46efe547ac ARM64: arch_timer: add support to configure and enable event stream
This patch adds support for configuring the event stream frequency
and enabling it.

It also adds the hwcaps as well as compat-specific definitions to
the user to detect this event stream feature.
