Since the timer stack (hardware and KVM) is per-CPU, there
are potential chances for races to occur when the scheduler
decides to migrate a vCPU thread to a different physical CPU.
Hence, include an option to stress-test this part as well by
forcing the vCPUs to migrate across physical CPUs in the
system at a particular rate.
Originally, the bug for the fix with commit 3134cc8beb
("KVM: arm64: vgic: Resample HW pending state on deactivation")
was discovered using arch_timer test with vCPU migrations and
can be easily reproduced.

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.
