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.
Fixes: 4bad306 ("KVM: arm64: nv: Sync nested timer state with FEAT_NV2")
