RISC-V: KVM: Disable vstimecmp before exiting to user-space
If VS-timer expires when no VCPU running on a host CPU then WFI executed by such host CPU will be effective NOP resulting in no power savings. This is as-per RISC-V Privileged specificaiton which says: "WFI is also required to resume execution for locally enabled interrupts pending at any privilege level, regardless of the global interrupt enable at each privilege level." To address the above issue, vstimecmp CSR must be set to -1UL over here when VCPU is scheduled-out or exits to user space. Reviewed-by:Atish Patra <atishp@rivosinc.com> Tested-by:
