The architected timer integration with the vgic had some shortcomings in that certain guests (one being UEFI) weren't fully supported. In fixing this I also found that we are scheduling the hrtimer for the virtual timer way too often, with a potential performance overhead. This series tries to address these problems in proviging level-triggered semantics for the arch timer and vgic intergration and seeks to clarify the behavior when setting/clearing the active state on the physical distributor. Series based on kvmarm/next and also available at: https://git.linaro.org/people/christoffer.dall/linux-kvm-arm.git timer-rework
I'm quite pleased with the overall look of this series. It fixes a number of issues that have been around for a while, plus some others I've recently introduced... Now, I fear this is probably too big a series to be shipped as a fix for 4.3. Can you come up with a minimal series that we could merge quickly (I'm thinking patches 7 and 9), and leave the rest for the following merge window? Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny...
