On platforms booting with ACPI, architected memory-mapped timers' configuration data is provided by firmware through the ACPI GTDT static table. The clocksource architected timer kernel driver requires a firmware interface to collect timer configuration and configure its driver. this infrastructure is present for device tree systems, but it is missing on systems booting with ACPI. Implement the kernel infrastructure required to parse the static ACPI GTDT table so that the architected timer clocksource driver can make use of it on systems booting with ACPI, therefore enabling the corresponding timers configuration.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
