Current KVM world switch code is unintentionally setting wrong bits to CNTHCTL_EL2 when E2H == 1, which may allow guest OS to access physical timer. Bit positions of CNTHCTL_EL2 are changing depending on HCR_EL2.E2H bit. EL1PCEN and EL1PCTEN are 1st and 0th bits when E2H is not set, but they are 11th and 10th bits respectively when E2H is set. In fact, on VHE we only need to set those bits once, not for every world switch. This is because the host kernel runs in EL2 with HCR_EL2.TGE == 1, which makes those bits have no effect for the host kernel execution. So we just set those bits once for guests, and that's it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
