My gdb ("GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.11.1-0ubuntu1~16.5) 7.11.1") gives
(gdb) p/x $cntvct_el0
$3 = Value can't be converted to integer.
or if you don't ask for the hex conversion:
(gdb) print $cntvct_el0
$2 = void

so this is either something fixed in a newer gdb than you
have, or alternately it's a regression if you're using a
newer gdb, which you should probably report upstream...

Thanks for the testing.

Abdallah: I've added this series to my target-arm.next queue,
so it should reach QEMU master some time next week. Thanks for
your efforts in working through QEMU's review process, and
sorry this took us so long to deal with.
