Shanker Donthineni 6eb486b66a irqchip/gic-v3: Ensure GICR_CTLR.EnableLPI=0 is observed before enabling
Booting with GICR_CTLR.EnableLPI=1 is usually a bad idea, and may
result in subtle memory corruption. Detecting this is thus pretty
important.

On detecting that LPIs are still enabled, we taint the kernel (because
we're not sure of anything anymore), and try to disable LPIs. This can
fail, as implementations are allowed to implement GICR_CTLR.EnableLPI
as a one-way enable, meaning the redistributors cannot be reprogrammed
with new tables.

Should this happen, we fail probing the redistributor and warn the user
that things are pretty dire.

README

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.
