    ipipe/timer: fix timing with NO_HZ_IDLE · 0a037e7d
    Philippe Gerum authored
    Enabling NO_HZ_IDLE may cause large timeout values to be sent to the
    host tick emulation handler implemented by the client domain.
    
    Since we refrain from converting the timeout value to timer ticks but
    keep it as a count of nanoseconds for stolen timers, we have to make
    sure that such value will still fit in the ->set_next_event()
    (unsigned long) argument without overflowing.
    
    Cap the maximum delay value which may be passed to ->set_next_event()
    by setting max_delta_ns appropriately in the clockevent definition of
    stolen timers.
