[PULL 4/8] arm/arm64: kvm: Disable branch profiling in HYP code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Julien Thierry <julien.thierry@xxxxxxx>

When HYP code runs into branch profiling code, it attempts to jump to
unmapped memory, causing a HYP Panic.

Disable the branch profiling for code designed to run at HYP mode.
