Hyper-V clock/timer code in hyperv_timer.c is mostly independent from other VMbus drivers, but building for ARM64 without hyperv_timer.c shows some remaining entanglements. A default implementation of hv_read_reference_counter can just read a Hyper-V synthetic register and be independent of hyperv_timer.c, so move this code out and into hv_common.c. Then it can be used by the timesync driver even if hyperv_timer.c isn't built on a particular architecture. If hyperv_timer.c *is* built, it can override with a faster implementation. Also provide stubs for stimer functions called by the VMbus driver when hyperv_timer.c isn't built. No functional changes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
