Both Wei-Lin Chang and Volodymyr Babchuk report that the way we
handle the emulation of EL1 timers with NV is completely wrong,
specially in the case of HCR_EL2.E2H==0.
There are three problems in about as many lines of code:
- With E2H==0, the EL1 timers are overwritten with the EL1 state,
while they should actually contain the EL2 state (as per the timer
map)
- With E2H==1, we run the full EL1 timer emulation even when ECV
is present, hiding a bug in timer_emulate() (see previous patch)
- The comments are actively misleading, and say all the wrong things.
This is only attributable to the code having been initially written
for FEAT_NV, hacked up to handle FEAT_NV2 *in parallel*, and vaguely
hacked again to be FEAT_NV2 only. Oh, and yours truly being a gold
plated idiot.
The fix is obvious: just delete most of the E2H==0 code, have a unified
handling of the timers (because they really are E2H agnostic), and
make sure we don't execute any of that when FEAT_ECV is present.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
