Sounds reasonable to me, I'll do a quick respin with the check for the
timer (to ensure the user even created a vgic).

Just to double-check, it is going to look something like this for the
arch-timer path:

diff --git a/arch/arm/kvm/arm.c b/arch/arm/kvm/arm.c
index d4da244..c61d51d 100644
--- a/arch/arm/kvm/arm.c
+++ b/arch/arm/kvm/arm.c
@@ -441,6 +441,16 @@ static int kvm_vcpu_first_run_init(struct
kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
 			return ret;
 	}

+#ifdef CONFIG_KVM_ARM_TIMER
+	/*
+	 * If the Architected Timers are supported, userspace must have

+	 * virtual timer interrupt and have nowhere to route them to.
+	 */
+	if (!irqchip_in_kernel(kvm))
+		return -ENODEV;
+#endif

Not quite sure about that. Supporting the vgic/timer is a runtime decision, not a compile-time one.

My guess is that we should have this test in kvm_timer_init instead, and simply not set the "kvm->arch.timer.enabled" field to 1 if we don't have an in-kernel irqchip.

This should ensure that the timer is never context-switched, never enabled, whatever the guest decides to do.

I'd be tempted to have that as a WARN_ONCE(), or something similar. Annoying enough, but not fatal.
But I'll leave you as sole judge, I'm becoming soft these days... ;-)

Thanks,
