In this case, it is a better to switch to the physical timers, and leave the virtual timers to guests.

arm64: move from arm_generic to arm_arch_timer 2013-01-31T15:51:59+00:00 Mark Rutland mark.rutland@arm.com 2012-11-20T10:06:00+00:00 1aee5d7a8120cbe3eca9180ef9276d75a4f51dd2 The arch_timer driver supports a superset of the functionality of the arm_generic driver, and is not tied to a particular arch. This patch moves arm64 to use the arch_timer driver, gaining additional functionality in doing so, and removes the (now unused) arm_generic driver. Timer-related hooks specific to arm64 are moved into arch/arm64/kernel/time.c.

arm: arch_timer: move core to drivers/clocksource 2013-01-31T15:51:49+00:00 Mark Rutland mark.rutland@arm.com 2012-11-12T14:33:44+00:00 8a4da6e36c582ff746191eca85b6c1c068dbfbd6 The core functionality of the arch_timer driver is not directly tied to anything under arch/arm, and can be split out. This patch factors out the core of the arch_timer driver, so it can be shared with other architectures. A couple of functions are added so that architecture-specific code can interact with the driver without needing to touch its internals. The ARM_ARCH_TIMER config variable is moved out to drivers/clocksource/Kconfig, existing uses in arch/arm are replaced with HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER, which selects it.
