Also, according to my understanding of "context", that means saving *all* the related registers. But KVM saves only *one* register, PMSCR_EL1.

(MDCR_EL2_E2PB == 0) I think "EL2 translations" is bit too vague, EL2 stage 1 translation would be more precise, since we're talking only about the nVHE case. > - The guest Stage1 is loaded. > > Thus the flush could use the host EL1 virtual address, > but use the EL2 translations instead. Fix this by It's not *could*, it's *will*. The SPE buffer will use the buffer pointer programmed by the host at EL1, but will attempt to translate it using EL2 stage 1 translation, where it's (probably) not mapped. > and before we change the ownership to EL2.

There are several things that are wrong with the way KVM drains the SPE buffer in __debug_switch_to_guest(): 1. The buffer is drained after the guest's stage 1 is loaded in __sysreg_restore_state_nvhe() -> __sysreg_restore_el1_state(). 2. The buffer is drained after HCR_EL2.VM is set in __activate_traps() -> ___activate_traps(), which means that the buffer would have use the guest's stage 1 + host's stage 2 for address translation if not 3 below. 3. And finally, the buffer is drained after MDCR_EL2.E2PB is set to 0b00 in __activate_traps() -> __activate_traps_common() (vcpu->arch.mdcr_el2 is computed in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() -> kvm_arm_setup_debug() before __kvm_vcpu_run(), which means that the buffer will end up using the EL2 stage 1 translation because of the ISB after sampling is disabled. Your fix looks correct to me, we drain the buffer and disable event sampling before we start restoring any of the state associated with the guest, and we re-enable profiling after we restore all the host's state relevant for profiling.
