Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] KVM/arm64: timer fixes for 6.14
Date: Tue,  4 Feb 2025 11:00:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250204110050.150560-1-maz@kernel.org> (raw)

It's been recently pointed out that the NV timer code that is
(hopefully) on its way upstream is marginally sub-optimal (read:
terminally broken). This short series attempts to fix things:

- Correctly arm a background timer in all situations

- Avoid corrupting the EL2 state by shoving the EL1 state into it, and
  simplify the handling of emulated timers

- Drop the weird HV timer offset dance dance on E2H switch that never
  happens and make HV timer correctly UNDEF on E2H==0.

Thanks to Volodymyr Babchuk and Wei-Lin Chang for their help.

Patches on top of kvmarm/fixes, and merged back on top of my
kvm-arm64/nv-next branch.
