From 250be9d61cf8898b1eea140fa31fe7713c49e989 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shanker Donthineni Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2018 09:38:07 -0600 Subject: KVM: arm/arm64: No need to zero CNTVOFF in kvm_timer_vcpu_put() for VHE MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In AArch64/AArch32, the virtual counter uses a fixed virtual offset of zero in the following situations as per ARMv8 specifications: 1) HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, and CNTVCT_EL0/CNTVCT are read from EL2. 2) HCR_EL2.{E2H, TGE} is {1, 1}, and either: — CNTVCT_EL0 is read from Non-secure EL0 or EL2. — CNTVCT is read from Non-secure EL0. So, no need to zero CNTVOFF_EL2/CNTVOFF for VHE case.
