Contrary to common belief, HCR_EL2.TGE has a direct and immediate
effect on the way the EL0 physical counter is offset. Flipping
TGE from 1 to 0 while at EL2 immediately changes the way the counter
compared to the CVAL limit.
This means that we cannot directly save/restore the guest's view of
CVAL, but that we instead must treat it as if CNTPOFF didn't exist.
Only in the world switch, once we figure out that we do have CNTPOFF,
can we must the offset back and forth depending on the polarity of
TGE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
