From 1750ad1388e03fb27068cd1f22c9c8b4590fe936 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qiang Ma Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 15:46:40 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: PMU: Preserve AArch32 counter low bits AArch32 writes to PMU event counters cannot update the top 32 bits, even when PMUv3p5 makes the counters 64-bit. KVM therefore needs to preserve the existing high half and only update the low half written by the guest, unless the caller explicitly forces a full reset through PMCR.P. The current code masks @val down to the old high half before taking lower_32_bits(val), which means the low half is always zero. As a result, AArch32 writes to event counters discard the guest-provided low 32 bits instead of storing them. Build the new value from the old high 32 bits and the low 32 bits of the value supplied by the guest.
