Subject: [PATCH 13/13] KVM: arm64: selftest: Fix misleading comment about virtual timer encoding
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2025 17:04:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250929160458.3351788-14-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250929160458.3351788-1-maz@kernel.org>
The userspace-visible encoding for CNTV_CVAL_EL0 and CNTVCNT_EL0
have been swapped for as long as usersapce has had access to the
registers. This is documented in arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h.
Despite that, the get_reg_list test has unhelpful comments indicating
the wrong register for the encoding.
Replace this with definitions exposed in the include file, and
a comment explaining again the brokenness.
