This series aims at satisfying multiple goals: - allow a VMM to atomically restore a timer offset for a whole VM instead of updating the offset each time a vcpu get its counter written - allow a VMM to save/restore the physical timer context, something that we cannot do at the moment due to the lack of offsetting - provide a framework that is suitable for NV support, where we get both global and per timer, per vcpu offsetting We fix a couple of issues along the way, both from a stylistic and correctness perspective. This results in a new per VM KVM API that allows a pair of global offsets to be set at any point in time, overriding the timer counter writeback. This has been moderately tested with nVHE, VHE and NV. I do not have access to CNTPOFF-aware HW, so the jury is still out on that one. Note that the NV patches in this series are here to give a perspective on how this gets used. I've updated the arch_timer selftest to allow offsets to be provided from the command line, but the arch_test is pretty flimsy and tends to fail with an error==EINTR, even without this series. Something to investigate. Note that this is at best 6.4 material. I have a branch stashed at [1] and based on kvmarm/next. Thanks, M.
