[ Upstream commit d43f37b73468c172bc89ac4824a1511b411f0778 ] When a cpu is hot-unplugged, it is put in idle state and the function arch_cpu_idle_dead() is called. The timer interrupt for this processor should be disabled, otherwise there will be pending timer interrupt for the unplugged cpu, so that vcpu is prevented from giving up scheduling when system is running in vm mode. This patch implements the timer shutdown interface so that the constant timer will be properly disabled when a CPU is hot-unplugged.

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.
