Any fields not defined in an arm64_ftr_bits entry are propagated to the system-wide register value in init_cpu_ftr_reg(), and while we require that these strictly match for the sanity checks, we don't update them in update_cpu_ftr_reg(). Generally, the lack of an arm64_ftr_bits entry indicates that the bits are currently RES0 (as is the case for the upper 32 bits of all supposedly 32-bit registers). A better default would be to use zero for the system-wide value of unallocated bits, making all register checking consistent, and allowing for subsequent simplifications to the arm64_ftr_bits arrays. This patch updates init_cpu_ftr_reg() to treat unallocated bits as RES0 for the purpose of the system-wide safe value. These bits will still be sanity checked with strict match requirements, as is currently the case.

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.
