From fe769e6c1f80f542d6f4e7f7c8c6bf20c1307f99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2023 15:05:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: timers: Use CNTHCTL_EL2 when setting non-CNTKCTL_EL1 bits It recently appeared that, when running VHE, there is a notable difference between using CNTKCTL_EL1 and CNTHCTL_EL2, despite what the architecture documents: - When accessed from EL2, bits [19:18] and [16:10] of CNTKCTL_EL1 have the same assignment as CNTHCTL_EL2 - When accessed from EL1, bits [19:18] and [16:10] are RES0 It is all OK, until you factor in NV, where the EL2 guest runs at EL1. In this configuration, CNTKCTL_EL11 doesn't trap, nor ends up in the VNCR page. This means that any write from the guest affecting CNTHCTL_EL2 using CNTKCTL_EL1 ends up losing some state. Not good. The fix it obvious: don't use CNTKCTL_EL1 if you want to change bits that are not part of the EL1 definition of CNTKCTL_EL1, and use CNTHCTL_EL2 instead. This doesn't change anything for a bare-metal OS, and fixes it when running under NV. The NV hypervisor will itself have to work harder to merge the two accessors. Note that there is a pending update to the architecture to address this issue by making the affected bits UNKNOWN when CNTKCTL_EL1 is used from EL2 with VHE enabled.
