In __init_el2_timers we initialize CNTHCTL_EL2.{EL1PCEN,EL1PCTEN} with a RMW sequence, leaving all other bits UNKNOWN. In general, we should initialize all bits in a register rather than using an RMW sequence, since most bits are UNKNOWN out of reset, and as new bits are added to the reigster their reset value might not result in expected behaviour. In the case of CNTHCTL_EL2, FEAT_ECV added a number of new control bits in previously RES0 bits, which reset to UNKNOWN values, and may cause issues for EL1 and EL0: * CNTHCTL_EL2.ECV enables the CNTPOFF_EL2 offset (which itself resets to an UNKNOWN value) at EL0 and EL1. Since the offset could reset to distinct values across CPUs, when the control bit resets to 1 this could break timekeeping generally. * CNTHCTL_EL2.{EL1TVT,EL1TVCT} trap EL0 and EL1 accesses to the EL1 virtual timer/counter registers to EL2. When reset to 1, this could cause unexpected traps to EL2. Initializing these bits to zero avoids these problems, and all other bits in CNTHCTL_EL2 other than EL1PCEN and EL1PCTEN can safely be reset to zero. This patch ensures we initialize CNTHCTL_EL2 accordingly, only setting EL1PCEN and EL1PCTEN, and setting all other bits to zero.
