[PATCH 04/16] KVM: arm64: timers: Use a per-vcpu, per-timer accumulator for fractional ns

Thu Feb 16 06:21:11 PST 2023


Instead of accumulating the fractionnal ns value generated everytime
we compute a ns delta in a global variable, use a per-vcpu, per-timer
variable. This keeps the fractional ns local to the timer instead of
contributing to any odd, unrelated timer.
