PATCH v3 1/5 ARM: arch_timers: switch to physical timers if HYP mode is available

From: Marc Zyngier <[email protected]>

If we're booted in HYP mode, it is possible that we'll run some kind of virtualized environment. In this case, it is a better to switch to the physical timers, and leave the virtual timers to guests.

PATCH v3 2/5 ARM: KVM: arch_timers: Add minimal infrastructure

In reply to Christoffer Dall

From: Marc Zyngier <[email protected]>

Add some very minimal architected timer related infrastructure. For the moment, we just provide empty structures, and enable/disable access to the physical timer across world switch.

PATCH v3 3/5 ARM: KVM: arch_timers: Add guest timer core support

In reply to Christoffer Dall

From: Marc Zyngier <[email protected]>

We can inject a timer interrupt into the guest as a result of three possible events:
- The virtual timer interrupt has fired while we were still executing the guest
- The timer interrupt hasn't fired, but it expired while we were doing the world switch
- A hrtimer we programmed earlier has fired

PATCH v3 4/5 ARM: KVM: arch_timers: Add timer world switch

In reply to Christoffer Dall

From: Marc Zyngier <[email protected]>

Do the necessary save/restore dance for the timers in the world switch code. In the process, allow the guest to read the physical counter, which is useful for its own clock_event_device.
