Message-Id: <20151018014902.294414447@linuxfoundation.org> Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2015 18:56:30 -0700 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, stable@...r.kernel.org, Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@....com> Subject: [PATCH 4.1 007/202] arm: KVM: Disable virtual timer even if the guest is not using it 4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@....com> commit 688bc577ac42ae3d07c889a1f0a72f0b23763d58 upstream. 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.
