[PATCH] RISC-V: KVM: Fix timer state restore
From: Qiang Ma
Date: Tue May 26 2026 - 03:58:25 EST
The KVM_REG_RISCV_TIMER_REG(state) one-reg write passes the value
written by userspace to kvm_riscv_vcpu_timer_next_event() when
re-enabling the timer.
That value is the timer state, KVM_RISCV_TIMER_STATE_ON, not the
timer compare value. During migration or state restore, userspace
restores the compare register separately, which stores the target
cycle in t->next_cycles. Re-arming the timer with the state value
schedules the next event at cycle 1 instead of the restored compare
value, causing the virtual timer to fire too early.
Use the restored compare value from t->next_cycles when turning the
timer back on.
