2021-01-19target/arm: Add cpu properties to control pauthRichard Henderson
The crypto overhead of emulating pauth can be significant for some workloads. Add two boolean properties that allows the feature to be turned off, on with the architected algorithm, or on with an implementation defined algorithm. We need two intermediate booleans to control the state while parsing properties lest we clobber ID_AA64ISAR1 into an invalid intermediate state.

2020-10-08hw/arm/virt: Implement kvm-steal-timeAndrew Jones
We add the kvm-steal-time CPU property and implement it for machvirt. A tiny bit of refactoring was also done to allow pmu and pvtime to use the same vcpu device helper functions.

2020-03-12docs: Be consistent about capitalization of 'Arm'Peter Maydell
The company 'Arm' went through a rebranding some years back involving a recapitalization from 'ARM' to 'Arm'. As a result our documentation is a bit inconsistent between the two forms. It's not worth trying to update everywhere in QEMU, but it's easy enough to make docs/ consistent. Note that "ARMv8" and similar architecture names, and older CPU names like "ARM926" still retain all-caps.

2020-03-12docs: Move arm-cpu-features.rst into the system manualPeter Maydell
Now we have somewhere to put arm-specific rst documentation, we can move arm-cpu-features.rst from the docs/ top level directory into docs/system/arm/.
