[PATCH 4.9 09/67] arm/arm64: kvm: Disable branch profiling in HYP code

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Nov 06 2017 - 05:11:39 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Julien Thierry <julien.thierry@xxxxxxx>

commit f9b269f3098121b5d54aaf822e0898c8ed1d3fec upstream.

When HYP code runs into branch profiling code, it attempts to jump to
unmapped memory, causing a HYP Panic.

Disable the branch profiling for code designed to run at HYP mode.
