Hi,
Hafnium sets CPTR_EL2.TTA (bit 28), which traps accesses to trace system registers to EL2.
https://git.trustedfirmware.org/hafnium/hafnium.git/tree/src/arch/aarch64/sy...
However CPTR_EL2 register has a different bit field definition depending on HCR_EL2.E2H state. When HCR_EL2.E2H=0 (Hafnium case) CPTR_EL2.TTA bit position is 20.
Is this a slight issue needing fix?
It sounds like this was copied badly from the spec and should be fixed. We don't enable VHE and we should do as the spec says.

Thanks Andrew and Serban. I submitted a patch for it.
