Will Deacon c94a8537df tick/broadcast: Prefer per-cpu oneshot wakeup timers to broadcast
Some SoCs have two per-cpu timer implementations where the timer with the
higher rating stops in deep idle (i.e. suffers from CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP)
but is otherwise preferable to the timer with the lower rating. In such a
design, selecting the higher rated devices relies on a global broadcast
timer and IPIs to wake up from deep idle states.

To avoid the reliance on a global broadcast timer and also to reduce the
overhead associated with the IPI wakeups, extend
tick_install_broadcast_device() to manage per-cpu wakeup timers separately
from the broadcast device.

For now, these timers remain unused.

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.
