Good point, looks like my initial fix is incomplete. I'll repost a more
complete fix but in the meantime, does adding the following work for you?
diff --git a/arch/arm/kvm/interrupts.S b/arch/arm/kvm/interrupts.S
index 3ac7aca..5b30047 100644
--- a/arch/arm/kvm/interrupts.S
+++ b/arch/arm/kvm/interrupts.S
@@ -487,6 +487,7 @@ switch_to_guest_vfp:
@ NEON/VFP used. Turn on VFP access.
set_hcptr vmexit, (HCPTR_TCP(10) | HCPTR_TCP(11))
+ isb @ Force execution of HCPTR as we've just reenabled VFP access
@ Switch VFP/NEON hardware state to the guest's
add r7, r0, #VCPU_VFP_HOST
Thanks,
M.
