Subject: KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Allow access to GICD_IIDR prior to initialization
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f26e6af75782fad6efdc883f33e1c40f1a6d37e7;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Allow access to GICD_IIDR prior to initialization

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.
