KVM would like to consume any pending SError (or RAS error) after guest exit. Today it has to unmask SError and use dsb+isb to synchronise the CPU. With the RAS extensions we can use ESB to synchronise any pending SError. Add the necessary macros to allow DISR to be read and converted to an ESR. We clear the DISR register when we enable the RAS cpufeature, and the kernel has not executed any ESB instructions. Any value we find in DISR must have belonged to firmware. Executing an ESB instruction is the only way to update DISR, so we can expect firmware to have handled any deferred SError. By the same logic we clear DISR in the idle path.

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.
