[Resending for Christoffer and adding kvmarm to recipients] Hi, When enabling branch profiling, a lockup occurs at boot time, after displaying: "kvm [1]: Hyp mode initialized successfully" The issue is caused by the Hyp code getting instrumented and trying to access unmapped code or data, which happens when trying to initialize EL2. So it also seems like KVM is misleadingly announcing it was initialized and yet gets stuck during initialization. * First patch deals with printing the initialization message once KVM has fully initialized Hyp mode * Second patch actually disables branch profiling instrumentation in Hyp code Cheers, Julien Thierry (2): arm/arm64: kvm: Move initialization completion message arm/arm64: kvm: Disable branch profiling in HYP code arch/arm/kvm/hyp/Makefile | 2 +- arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/Makefile | 2 +- virt/kvm/arm/arm.c | 31 ++++++++++++++----------------- 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1 _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/kvmarm
