Jintack Lim f242adaf0c KVM: arm/arm64: Set up a background timer for the physical timer emulation
Set a background timer for the EL1 physical timer emulation while VMs
are running, so that VMs get the physical timer interrupts in a timely
manner.

Schedule the background timer on entry to the VM and cancel it on exit.
This would not have any performance impact to the guest OSes that
currently use the virtual timer since the physical timer is always not
enabled.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
