From c4cbba9fa078f55d9f6d081dbb4aec7cf969e7c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 16:18:59 +0100 Subject: arm64: KVM: Disable virtual timer even if the guest is not using it When running a guest with the architected timer disabled (with QEMU and the kernel_irqchip=off option, for example), it is important to make sure the timer gets turned off. Otherwise, the guest may try to enable it anyway, leading to a screaming HW interrupt. The fix is to unconditionally turn off the virtual timer on guest exit.
