[PATCH] KVM: ARM64: fix phy counter access failure in guest.

Show all headers | View raw

When reading the cntpct_el0 in guest with VHE (Virtual Host Extension)
enabled in host, the "Unsupported guest sys_reg access" error reported.
The reason is cnthctl_el2.EL1PCTEN is not enabled, which is expected
to be done in kvm_timer_init_vhe(). The problem is kvm_timer_init_vhe
is called by cpu_init_hyp_mode, and which is called when VHE is disabled.
This patch calls kvm_timer_init_vhe() to enable cnthctl_el2.EL1PCTEN
in cpu_hyp_reinit().
