ICC_SRE_EL2.SRE (bit 0) must be initialised to 0b0.
- The DT or ACPI tables must describe a GICv2 interrupt controller.
+ For CPUs with pointer authentication functionality:
+ - If EL3 is present:
+ SCR_EL3.APK (bit 16) must be initialised to 0b1
+ SCR_EL3.API (bit 17) must be initialised to 0b1
+ - If the kernel is entered at EL1:
+ HCR_EL2.APK (bit 40) must be initialised to 0b1
+ HCR_EL2.API (bit 41) must be initialised to 0b1
+
The requirements described above for CPU mode, caches, MMUs, architected
timers, coherency and system registers apply to all CPUs. All CPUs must
enter the kernel in the same exception level.
