When percpu-timers are stopped by deep power saving mode, we need system timer help to broadcast IPI_TIMER. This is first introduced by broken x86 hardware, where the local apic timer stops in C3 state. But many other architectures(powerpc, mips, arm, hexagon, openrisc, sh) have supported the infrastructure to deal with Power Management issues.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
