It appears that on Qualcomm's x1e CPU, CNTVOFF_EL2 doesn't really work, specially with HCR_EL2.E2H=1. A non-zero offset results in a screaming virtual timer interrupt, to the tune of a few 100k interrupts per second on a 4 vcpu VM. This is also evidenced by this CPU's inability to correctly run any of the timer selftests. The only case this doesn't break is when this register is set to 0, which breaks VM migration. When HCR_EL2.E2H=0, the timer seems to behave normally, and does not result in an interrupt storm. As a workaround, use the fact that this CPU implements FEAT_ECV, and trap all accesses to the virtual timer and counter, keeping CNTVOFF_EL2 set to zero, and emulate accesses to CVAL/TVAL/CTL and the counter itself, fixing up the timer to account for the missing offset. And if you think this is disgusting, you'd probably be right.

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.
