There are two registers controlling the GCS state of EL0, GCSPR_EL0 which is the current GCS pointer and GCSCRE0_EL1 which has enable bits for the specific GCS functionality enabled for EL0. Manage these on context switch and process lifetime events, GCS is reset on exec(). Also ensure that any changes to the GCS memory are visible to other PEs and that changes from other PEs are visible on this one by issuing a GCSB DSYNC when moving to or from a thread with GCS. Since the current GCS configuration of a thread will be visible to userspace we store the configuration in the format used with userspace and provide a helper which configures the system register as needed. On systems that support GCS we always allow access to GCSPR_EL0, this facilitates reporting of GCS faults if userspace implements disabling of GCS on error - the GCS can still be discovered and examined even if GCS has been disabled.

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 reStructuredText 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.
