    arm64: Document sysctls for emulated deprecated instructions · dd720784
    Mark Brown authored
    We have support for emulating a number of deprecated instructions in the
    kernel with individual Kconfig options enabling this support per
    instruction. In addition to the Kconfig options we also provide runtime
    control via sysctls but this is not currently mentioned in the Kconfig so
    not very discoverable for users. This is particularly important for
    SWP/SWPB since this is disabled by default at runtime and must be enabled
    via the sysctl, causing considerable frustration for users who have enabled
    the config option and are then confused to find that the instruction is
    still faulting.
    
    Add a reference to the sysctls in the help text for each of the config
    options, noting that SWP/SWPB is disabled by default, to improve the
    user experience.
