[ Upstream commit 6282edb72bed5324352522d732080d4c1b9dfed6 ] Exynos SoCs based on CA7/CA15 have 2 timer interfaces: custom Exynos MCT (Multi Core Timer) and standard ARM Architected Timers. There are use cases, where both timer interfaces are used simultanously. One of such examples is using Exynos MCT for the main system timer and ARM Architected Timers for the KVM and virtualized guests (KVM requires arch timers). Exynos Multi-Core Timer driver (exynos_mct) must be however started before ARM Architected Timers (arch_timer), because they both share some common hardware blocks (global system counter) and turning on MCT is needed to get ARM Architected Timer working properly. To ensure selecting Exynos MCT as the main system timer, increase MCT timer rating. To ensure proper starting order of both timers during suspend/resume cycle, increase MCT hotplug priority over ARM Archictected Timers.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
