Subject: [PATCH 3/3] arm: KVM: Disable virtual timer even if the guest is not using it
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 16:58:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1442419087-24648-4-git-send-email-marc.zyngier@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1442419087-24648-1-git-send-email-marc.zyngier@arm.com>

When running a guest with the architected timer disabled (with QEMU and
the kernel_irqchip=off option, for example), it is important to make
sure the timer gets turned off. Otherwise, the guest may try to
enable it anyway, leading to a screaming HW interrupt.

The fix is to unconditionally turn off the virtual timer on guest
exit.
