Due to new security restrictions, GIC controller can no longer be accessed from user/kernel. To monitor that, a new status bit will be read from preboot caps, indicating whether direct access to GIC is blocked. In case it is blocked, driver will use scratchpad registers instead of using GIC interface on two main scenarios: The first of which LKD triggers interrupts to F/W through GIC, and the second of when LKD configures all engines/QMANs to write to GIC when they want to report an error. From F/W perspective, it will poll on all SPs, and once IRQ number is retrieved, SP register is cleared, and it will perform the write to the GIC to trigger the IRQ handler.

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.
