Reviewed-by: Anup Patel <anup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently, the scounteren.TM bit is only set by the Linux SBI PMU driver but KVM RISC-V only provides SBI PMU for guest when Sscofpmf is available in host so we need the below hunk to completely get rid-off scounteren initialization in KVM RISC-V. diff --git a/arch/riscv/kernel/head.S b/arch/riscv/kernel/head.S index 356d5397b2a2..bdf3352acf4c 100644 --- a/arch/riscv/kernel/head.S +++ b/arch/riscv/kernel/head.S @@ -131,6 +131,12 @@ secondary_start_sbi: csrw CSR_IE, zero csrw CSR_IP, zero +#ifndef CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE + /* Enable time CSR */ + li t0, 0x2 + csrw CSR_SCOUNTEREN, t0 +#endif + /* Load the global pointer */ load_global_pointer @@ -226,6 +232,10 @@ SYM_CODE_START(_start_kernel) * to hand it to us. */ csrr a0, CSR_MHARTID +#else + /* Enable time CSR */ + li t0, 0x2 + csrw CSR_SCOUNTEREN, t0 #endif /* CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE */ /* Load the global pointer */ I have queued this patch for Linux-6.16 with the above hunk squashed.
