However, if the MMIO timer is already enabled and has not yet expired, there is a possibility of unexpected behavior occurring: when the CPU enters the idle state during this period, and if the CPU's local event is earlier than the broadcast event, the following process occurs: tick_broadcast_enter() tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(TICK_BROADCAST_ENTER) __tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() ___tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() tick_broadcast_set_event() clockevents_program_event() set_next_event_mem() During this process, the MMIO timer remains enabled while programming CVAL. To prevent such behavior, disable timer explicitly prior to programming CVAL.
