Subject: [RFC PATCH v7 20/28] KVM: arm64: Allow guest SPE physical timestamps only if kernel allows it
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 17:06:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903160623.315525-21-alexandru.elisei@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903160623.315525-1-alexandru.elisei@arm.com>
The SPE driver allows userspace to use physical timestamps for records only
if the kernel allows it, do the same for a virtual machine.
