[PATCH v3 10/17] timer: Add get next timer interrupt functionality for remote CPUs

From: Anna-Maria Behnsen
Date: Tue Oct 25 2022 - 10:00:43 EST


To prepare for the conversion of the NOHZ timer placement to a pull at
expiry time model it's required to have functionality available getting the
next timer interrupt on a remote CPU.
