arm64 advertises hardware features to user-space via HWCAPs, and by emulating access to the CPUs id registers. The cpufeature code has a sanitised system-wide view of an id register, and a sanitised user-space view of an id register, where some features use their 'safe' value instead of the hardware value. It is currently possible for a HWCAP to be advertised where the user-space view of the id register does not show the feature as supported. Erratum workaround need to remove both the HWCAP, and the feature from the user-space view of the id register. This involves duplicating the code, and spreading it over cpufeature.c and cpu_errata.c. Make the HWCAP code use the user-space view of id registers. This ensures the values never diverge, and allows erratum workaround to remove HWCAP by modifying the user-space view of the id register.

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 Restructured Text 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.
