From: Zenghui Yu <zenghui...@linux.dev> KVM's userspace access interface to the GICD enable and active bits is via set/clear register pairs which implement the hardware's "write 1s to the clear register to clear the 0 bits, and write 1s to the set register to set the 1 bits" semantics. We didn't get this right, because we were writing 0 to the clear register.
Writing 0 to GICD_IC{ENABLE,ACTIVE}R architecturally has no effect on interrupt status (all writes are simply ignored by KVM) and doesn't comply with the intention of "first write to the clear-reg to clear all bits". Write all 1's to actually clear the enable/active status. This didn't have any adverse effects on migration because there we start with a clean VM state; it would be guest-visible when doing a system reset, but since Linux always cleans up the register state of the GIC during bootup before it enables it most users won't have run into a problem here.
