Some SoCs have two per-cpu timer implementations where the timer with the higher rating stops in deep idle (i.e. suffers from CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP) but is otherwise preferable to the timer with the lower rating. In such a design, selecting the higher rated devices relies on a global broadcast timer and IPIs to wake up from deep idle states. To avoid the reliance on a global broadcast timer and also to reduce the overhead associated with the IPI wakeups, extend tick_install_broadcast_device() to manage per-cpu wakeup timers separately from the broadcast device. For now, these timers remain unused.

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.
