Subject: [PATCH v6 9/9] KVM: arm64: Prevent host from managing timer offsets for protected VMs
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2025 10:47:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251211104710.151771-10-tabba@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251211104710.151771-1-tabba@google.com>

For protected VMs, the guest's timer offset state should not be
controlled by the host and must always run with a virtual counter offset
of 0. The existing timer logic allowed the host to set and manage the
timer counter offsets for protected VMs in certain cases.

Disable all host-side management of timer offsets for protected VMs by
adding checks in the relevant code paths.
