Subject: [PATCHv5 14/16] ARM: arch_timers: switch to physical timers if HYP mode is available
Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:15:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1359634539-9580-15-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1359634539-9580-1-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com>
From: Marc Zyngier <Marc.Zyngier@arm.com>
If we're booted in HYP mode, it is possible that we'll run some
kind of virtualized environment. In this case, it is a better to
switch to the physical timers, and leave the virtual timers to
guests.
