The general expecation with feature ID registers is that they're 'reset' exactly once by KVM for the lifetime of a vCPU/VM, such that any userspace changes to the CPU features / identity are honored after a vCPU gets reset (e.g. PSCI_ON). KVM handles what it calls VM-scoped feature ID registers correctly, but feature ID registers local to a vCPU (CLIDR_EL1, MPIDR_EL1) get wiped after every reset. What's especially concerning is that a potentially-changing MPIDR_EL1 breaks MPIDR compression for indexing mpidr_data, as the mask of useful bits to build the index could change. This is absolutely no good. Avoid resetting vCPU feature ID registers more than once.

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.
