[PATCH] LoongArch: KVM: Add delay until timer interrupt injected
From: Bibo Mao
Date: Tue Nov 04 2025 - 06:49:13 EST
When timer is fired in oneshot mode, CSR TVAL will stop with value -1
rather than 0. However when register CSR TVAL is restored, it will
continue to count down rather than stop there.
Now the method is to write 0 to CSR TVAL, wait to count down for 1
cycle at least, which is 10ns with timer freq 100MHZ, and retore timer
interrupt status. Here add 2 cycles delay to assure that timer interrupt
is injected.
With this patch, timer selftest case passes to run always.
