Checked that the bit positions are the same between SCTLR_EL2 and SCTLR_EL1. I
think the IESB bit (bit 21) should be after the WXN bit (bit 19) to be
consistent; doesn't really matter either way.

I asked about the field positions in the previous series and this is what you
replied:

Here's how this function is used in vhe/sysreg-sr.c:

static void __sysreg_restore_vel2_state(struct kvm_cpu_context *ctxt)
{
	[..]
	if (__vcpu_el2_e2h_is_set(ctxt)) {
		[..]
	} else {
		[..]
		val = translate_cnthctl_el2_to_cntkctl_el1(ctxt_sys_reg(ctxt, CNTHCTL_EL2));
		write_sysreg_el1(val, SYS_CNTKCTL);
	}
	[..]
}

CNTHCTL_EL2 is a pure EL2 register. The translate function is called when guest
HCR_EL2.E2H is not set, therefore virtual CNTHCTL_EL2 has the non-VHE format.
And the result of the function is used to write to the hardware CNTKCTL_EL1
register (using the CNTKCTL_EL12 encoding), which is different from the
CNTHCTL_EL2 register. CNTKCTL_EL1 also always has the same format regardless of
the value of the HCR_EL2.E2H bit.

I don't understand what the host running with VHE has to do with the translate
function.

Thanks,
Alex
