Linux kernel source tree
f26e6af757
KVM allows userspace to write GICD_IIDR for backwards-compatibility with older kernels, where new implementation revisions have new features. Unfortunately this is allowed to happen at runtime, and ripping features out from underneath a running guest is a terrible idea. While we can't do anything about the ABI, prepare for more ID-like registers by allowing access to GICD_IIDR prior to VGIC initialization. Hoist initializaiton of the default value to kvm_vgic_create() and discard the incorrect comment that assumed userspace could access the register before initialization (until now). Subsequent changes will allow the VMM to further provision the GIC feature set, e.g. the presence of nASSGIcap.

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 reStructuredText 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.
