Trap accesses to restricted features for VMs running in protected mode. Access to feature registers are emulated, and only supported features are exposed to protected VMs. Accesses to restricted registers as well as restricted instructions are trapped, and an undefined exception is injected into the protected guests, i.e., with EC = 0x0 (unknown reason). This EC is the one used, according to the Arm Architecture Reference Manual, for unallocated or undefined system registers or instructions. Only affects the functionality of protected VMs. Otherwise, should not affect non-protected VMs when KVM is running in protected mode.

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.
