Does the reset value actually matter here? I don't see it being specific to VHE systems, and all we're trying to achieve is to restore the SPE configuration to a state where it can be used by the host. > However if the > guest are allowed to use profiling buffers changing E2PB settings, we How can the guest be allowed to change E2PB settings? Or do you mean here that allowing the guest to use SPE will mandate changes of the E2PB settings, and that we'd better restore the hypervisor state once we exit? > need to ensure we resume back MDCR_EL2.E2PB=b00.
