Subject: [PATCH v2 04/12] KVM: arm64: nv: Use FEAT_ECV to trap access to EL0 timers
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2024 14:23:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241217142321.763801-5-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241217142321.763801-1-maz@kernel.org>
Although FEAT_NV2 makes most things fast, it also makes it impossible
to correctly emulate the timers, as the sysreg accesses are redirected
to memory.
FEAT_ECV addresses this by giving a hypervisor the ability to trap
the EL02 sysregs as well as the virtual timer.
Add the required trap setting to make use of the feature, allowing
us to elide the ugly resync in the middle of the run loop.
