When updating the interrupt state for an emulated timer, we return
early and skip the setup of a soft timer that runs in parallel
with the guest.
While this is OK if we have set the interrupt pending, it is pretty
wrong if the guest moved CVAL into the future. In that case,
no timer is armed and the guest can wait for a very long time
(it will take a full put/load cycle for the situation to resolve).
This is specially visible with EDK2 running at EL2, but still
using the EL1 virtual timer, which in that case is fully emulated.
Any key-press takes ages to be captured, as there is no UART
interrupt and EDK2 relies on polling from a timer...
The fix is simply to drop the early return. If the timer interrupt
is pending, we will still return early, and otherwise arm the soft
timer.

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 reStructuredText 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.
