    arm/arm64: KVM: Require in-kernel vgic for the arch timers · 05971120
    Christoffer Dall authored
    It is curently possible to run a VM with architected timers support
    without creating an in-kernel VGIC, which will result in interrupts from
    the virtual timer going nowhere.
    
    To address this issue, move the architected timers initialization to the
    time when we run a VCPU for the first time, and then only initialize
    (and enable) the architected timers if we have a properly created and
    initialized in-kernel VGIC.
    
    When injecting interrupts from the virtual timer to the vgic, the
    current setup should ensure that this never calls an on-demand init of
    the VGIC, which is the only call path that could return an error from
    kvm_vgic_inject_irq(), so capture the return value and raise a warning
    if there's an error there.
    
    We also change the kvm_timer_init() function from returning an int to be
    a void function, since the function always succeeds.
