Minimal supplement to upstream Kernel Self Protection Project changes. Features already provided by SELinux + Yama and archs other than multiarch arm64 / x86_64 aren't in scope. Only tags have stable history. Shared IRC channel with KSPP: irc.libera.chat #linux-hardening
When emulating a GICv2-on-GICv3, special care must be taken to only save/restore VMCR_EL2 when ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE is cleared. Otherwise, all Group-0 interrupts end-up being delivered as FIQ, which is probably not what the guest expects, as demonstrated here with an unhappy EFI: FIQ Exception at 0x000000013BD21CC4 This means that we cannot perform the load/put trick when dealing with VMCR_EL2 (because the host has SRE set), and we have to deal with it in the world-switch. Fortunately, this is not the most common case (modern guests should be able to deal with GICv3 directly), and the performance is not worse than what it was before the VMCR optimization.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
