It appears that relatively popular hardware out there implements the CNTPOFF_EL2 variant of FEAT_ECV, advertises it via ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1, but cannot be bothered to set SCR_EL3.ECVEn to 1. You would probably think that "this is fine, EL3 will take the trap on access to CNTPOFF_EL2 and flip the ECVEn bit", as that's what a semi-decent firmware implementation would do. But no. None of that. This particular implementation takes the trap, considers its purpose in life, decides that it has none, and *RESETS* the system. Yes, x1e001de, I'm talking about you. In order to allow this machine to be promoted slightly above the level of a glorified door-stop, add a new "id_aa64mmfr0.ecv" override. allowing the kernel to pretend this option was never there.

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 reStructuredText 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.
