Similarly to commit 022eb8ae8b5e ("ARM: 8938/1: kernel: initialize
broadcast hrtimer based clock event device"), RISC-V needs to initiate
hrtimer based broadcast clock event device before C3STOP can be used.
Otherwise, the introduction of C3STOP for the RISC-V arch timer in
commit 232ccac1bd9b ("clocksource/drivers/riscv: Events are stopped
during CPU suspend") leaves us without any broadcast timer registered.
This prevents the kernel from entering oneshot mode, which breaks timer
behaviour, for example clock_nanosleep().
A test app that sleeps each cpu for 6, 5, 4, 3 ms respectively, HZ=250
& C3STOP enabled, the sleep times are rounded up to the next jiffy:
== CPU: 1 == == CPU: 2 == == CPU: 3 == == CPU: 4 ==

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.
