From 7e16aa81f9f6a7cfe2287b788a7d62abc2880185 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org> Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 10:31:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: Fix preemptible timer active state crazyness We were setting the physical active state on the GIC distributor in a preemptible section, which could cause us to set the active state on different physical CPU from the one we were actually going to run on, hacoc ensues. Since we are no longer descheduling/scheduling soft timers in the flush/sync timer functions, simply moving the timer flush into a non-preemptible section.
