[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 2/2] xen/arm: Sign extend TimerValue when computing the CompareValue
Posted by Jeff Kubascik 5 years, 9 months ago
Xen will only store the CompareValue as it can be derived from the
TimerValue (ARM DDI 0487E.a section D11.2.4):

  CompareValue = (Counter[63:0] + SignExtend(TimerValue))[63:0]

While the TimerValue is a 32-bit signed value, our implementation
assumed it is a 32-bit unsigned value.
