Sorry, you need to give me a bit more context. What do you need the
offset
for exactly?
Yeah,
In my ptp_kvm implementation, I need acquire wall time and counter
cycle in the same time in host. After get host counter cycle, I need
subtract it by VCNT offset to obtain VCNT. See
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/19/441
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/19/441
But now I can't get the VCNT offset easily like before using "
vcpu_vtimer(vcpu)->cntvoff" and I can't use the helper like
"kvm_arm_timer_read" as I need acquire the counter cycle in the same
time with the host wall time.
I must be missing something. CNTVOFF_EL2 is now implemented as
a standard system register, and has the same visibility as any
other vcpu sysreg.
Why doesn't vcpu_read_sys_reg(vcpu, CNTVOFF_EL2) work for you?
