From 1b8705ad5365b5333240b46d5cd24e88ef2ddb14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2025 11:00:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: timer: Correctly handle EL1 timer emulation when !FEAT_ECV Both Wei-Lin Chang and Volodymyr Babchuk report that the way we handle the emulation of EL1 timers with NV is completely wrong, specially in the case of HCR_EL2.E2H==0. There are three problems in about as many lines of code: - With E2H==0, the EL1 timers are overwritten with the EL1 state, while they should actually contain the EL2 state (as per the timer map) - With E2H==1, we run the full EL1 timer emulation even when ECV is present, hiding a bug in timer_emulate() (see previous patch) - The comments are actively misleading, and say all the wrong things. This is only attributable to the code having been initially written for FEAT_NV, hacked up to handle FEAT_NV2 *in parallel*, and vaguely hacked again to be FEAT_NV2 only. Oh, and yours truly being a gold plated idiot. The fix is obvious: just delete most of the E2H==0 code, have a unified handling of the timers (because they really are E2H agnostic), and make sure we don't execute any of that when FEAT_ECV is present.
