Christoffer Dall 0eb7c33cad KVM: arm/arm64: Fix timer enable flow
When enabling the timer on the first run, we fail to ever restore the
state and mark it as loaded.  That means, that in the initial entry to
the VCPU ioctl, unless we exit to userspace for some reason such as a
pending signal, if the guest programs a timer and blocks, we will wait
forever, because we never read back the hardware state (the loaded flag
is not set), and so we think the timer is disabled, and we never
schedule a background soft timer.

The end result?  The VCPU blocks forever, and the only solution is to
kill the thread.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
