When a given timer is affected by an erratum and requires an alternative implementation of set_next_event, we do a rather complicated dance to detect and call the workaround on each set_next_event call. This is clearly idiotic, as we can perfectly detect whether this CPU requires a workaround while setting up the clock event device. This only requires the CPU-specific detection to be done a bit earlier, and we can then safely override the set_next_event pointer if we have a workaround associated to that CPU.

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.
