Subject: [PATCH 3/5] tick/broadcast: Prefer per-cpu oneshot wakeup timers to broadcast

From: Will Deacon <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 20 May 2021 19:47:03 +0100

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, we rely 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.
