If anything, the ECV support should come first, and its emulation only as a poor man's workaround. It is also good to show silicon vendors that they suck at providing useful features, and pointing them to the code that would use these features *is* an incentive. > > Reviewed-by: Andrew Jones <drjones@xxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Oliver Upton <oupton@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/vcpu.rst | 22 +++++++ > arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 1 + > arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_hyp.h | 2 - > arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h | 1 + > arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h | 1 + > arch/arm64/kvm/arch_timer.c | 72 ++++++++++++++--------- > arch/arm64/kvm/arm.c | 4 +- > arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/switch.h | 23 ++++++++ > arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/timer-sr.h | 26 ++++++++ > arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/switch.c | 2 - > arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/timer-sr.c | 21 +++---- > arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/vhe/timer-sr.c | 27 +++++++++ > include/kvm/arm_arch_timer.h | 2 - > 13 files changed, 158 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-) > create mode 100644 arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/include/hyp/timer-sr.h > > diff --git a/Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/vcpu.rst b/Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/vcpu.rst > index ecbab7adc602..2756e3c09ab9 100644 > --- a/Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/vcpu.rst > +++ b/Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/vcpu.rst > @@ -161,6 +161,28 @@ the following equation: > KVM does not allow the use of varying offset values for different vCPUs; > the last written offset value will be broadcasted to all vCPUs in a VM. > > +2.3.

I'd rather you special-case the emulated ptimer in the VHE case: if (has_vhe()) { map->direct_vtimer = vcpu_vtimer(vcpu); if (!timer_get_offset(vcpu_ptimer(vcpu))) map->direct_ptimer = vcpu_ptimer(vcpu);

Thanks, M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
