Subject[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 017/104] arm: KVM: Disable virtual timer even if the guest is not using it
Date
3.16.7-ckt19 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.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.
