[PATCH 0/1] sbsa-ref: add non-secure EL2 virtual timer

Posted by Marcin Juszkiewicz 8 months ago

Armv8.1+ cpus have Virtual Host Extension (VHE) which added non-secure
EL2 virtual timer.

This change adds it to fullfil Arm BSA (Base System Architecture)
requirements.

From firmware side information about timer needs to be present in GTDT
acpi table. If it is there with suggested interrupt 28 then BSA ACS test
266 passes:

--------------------------------------------------------------
 226 : Check NS EL2-Virt timer PPI Assignment         START

       Received vir el2 interrupt
       B_PPI_02
                                       : Result:  PASS
         END
--------------------------------------------------------------

On Armv8.0 cpus this timer should not exist as there is no VHE.

I hope this code is correct. Tried to compare with other emulation
targets but only "virt" and "sbsa-ref" use cpu cores newer than v8.0
ones.
