Linux kernel source tree

get_one_reg() and set_one_reg() are returning EINVAL errors for almost everything: if a reg doesn't exist, if a reg ID is malformatted, if the associated CPU extension that implements the reg isn't present in the host, and for set_one_reg() if the value being written is invalid. This isn't wrong according to the existing KVM API docs (EINVAL can be used when there's no such register) but adding more ENOENT instances will make easier for userspace to understand what went wrong. Existing userspaces can be affected by this error code change. We checked a few. As of current upstream code, crosvm doesn't check for any particular errno code when using kvm_(get|set)_one_reg(). Neither does QEMU. rust-vmm doesn't have kvm-riscv support yet. Thus we have a good chance of changing these error codes now while the KVM RISC-V ecosystem is still new, minimizing user impact. Change all get_one_reg() and set_one_reg() implementations to return -ENOENT at all "no such register" cases.

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 Restructured Text 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.
