Subject: [PATCH v5 49/51] x86/kvmclock: Plumb in AP-online and BSP-resume to kvmlock, for documentation
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 12:32:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701193212.749551-50-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701193212.749551-1-seanjc@google.com>
Invoke kvmclock_cpu_action() with AP_ONLINE and BSP_RESUME, even though
kvmclock doesn't need to do anything in either case, so that the asymmetry
of kvmclock is a detail buried in kvmclock, and to explicitly document
that doing nothing during those phases is intentional and correct.
For all intents and purposes, no functional change intended.
