3.19.8-ckt9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyng...@arm.com>
commit 688bc577ac42ae3d07c889a1f0a72f0b23763d58 upstream.
When running a guest with the architected timer disabled (with QEMU and
the kernel_irqchip=off option, for example), it is important to make
sure the timer gets turned off. Otherwise, the guest may try to
enable it anyway, leading to a screaming HW interrupt.
The fix is to unconditionally turn off the virtual timer on guest
exit.
