+description = """The RK3588 SoC has three core clusters; one with A55 cores, and the other two have A76 cores. The big cores have more L2 cache than the little cores, so the value of `CCSIDR` depends on the core that it is read from.
+
+In `write_list_to_kvmstate`, QEMU attempts to use `KVM_SET_ONE_REG` with an ID for `KVM_REG_ARM_DEMUX_ID_CCSIDR`, trying to set `CCSIDR` to a previously read value.
+
+Normally, that works fine, but if the host kernel has moved QEMU from one core cluster to the other, then the value will be different and `demux_c15_set` will return `EINVAL`, causing the entire `arm_set_cpu_on` to fail, and the guest kernel to print an error.

+https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/kvm/sys_regs.c?h=v6.2#n2827
+
+I tried changing the condition for the `ok = false` line in `write_list_to_kvmstate` to `ret && r.id >> 8 != 0x60200000001100`. This causes all CPUs to initialize correctly in the guest, but obviously that's a hack.
+
+I assume that `CCSIDR` not being uniform across all CPUs means that the guest's copy of `CCSIDR` may be wrong, and so cache maintenance operations may not act on the entire cache. I do not know whether that could actually cause problems. Will QEMU need to find the maximum cache size across all CPUs and present that to guests?"""

+
+The error is not always printed, because it depends on which core cluster the processes are scheduled on.
+
+Using `taskset -c 0-3` or `taskset -c 4-7` to force QEMU to stick to the little or big cores respectively makes the bug not reproduce."""
