Subject[PATCH 0/2] Avoid spurious ptimer interrupts for non-zero cntpoff
Date
Guest-Hypervisor(NV use-case) uses ptimer as an arch_timer.
While running Guest-Hypervisor from a VHE host on a platform which
supports FEAT_ECV/CNTPOFF_EL2, burst of spurious ptimer interrupts
were generated for a non-zero offset, causing the boot to hang.

The issue is due to the value of CNTPOFF_EL2 is treated as zero while on
VHE host. This patch fixes the issue by adjusting the CVAL of a
loaded ptimer across the entry and exit of a guest.

This patchset is rebased on NV-V10[1][2]
