Alexandru Elisei 263d6287da KVM: arm64: Initialize VCPU mdcr_el2 before loading it ... When a VCPU is created, the kvm_vcpu struct is initialized to zero in kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu(). On VHE systems, the first time vcpu.arch.mdcr_el2 is loaded on hardware is in vcpu_load(), before it is set to a sensible value in kvm_arm_setup_debug() later in the run loop. The result is that KVM executes for a short time with MDCR_EL2 set to zero. This has several unintended consequences: * Setting MDCR_EL2.HPMN to 0 is constrained unpredictable according to ARM DDI 0487G.a, page D13-3820. The behavior specified by the architecture in this case is for the PE to behave as if MDCR_EL2.HPMN is set to a value less than or equal to PMCR_EL0.N, which means that an unknown number of counters are now disabled by MDCR_EL2.HPME, which is zero. * The host configuration for the other debug features controlled by MDCR_EL2 is temporarily lost. This has been harmless so far, as Linux doesn't use the other fields, but that might change in the future. Let's avoid both issues by initializing the VCPU's mdcr_el2 field in kvm_vcpu_vcpu_first_run_init(), thus making sure that the MDCR_EL2 register has a consistent value after each vcpu_load().
