This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled arm64/cpufeature: Fix field sign for DIT hwcap detection to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm64-cpufeature-fix-field-sign-for-dit-hwcap-detect.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3f749ed997bb05446f764fda9d8b211306d601de Author: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 27 12:55:54 2022 +0000 arm64/cpufeature: Fix field sign for DIT hwcap detection [ Upstream commit 50daf5b7c4ec4efcaf49a4128930f872bec7dbc0 ] Since it was added our hwcap for DIT has specified that DIT is a signed field but this appears to be incorrect, the two values for the enumeration are: 0b0000 NI 0b0001 IMP which look like a normal unsigned enumeration and the in-kernel DIT usage added by 01ab991fc0ee ("arm64: Enable data independent timing (DIT) in the kernel") detects the feature with an unsigned enum. Fix the hwcap to specify the field as unsigned.
