[ Upstream commit 6eff38048944cadc3cddcf117acfa5199ec32490 ]
In case when VCPU is blocked due to WFI, we schedule the timer
from `kvm_riscv_vcpu_timer_blocking()` to keep timer interrupt
ticking.
But in case when delta_ns comes to be zero, we never schedule
the timer and VCPU keeps sleeping indefinitely until any activity
is done with VM console.
This is easily reproduce-able using kvmtool.
./lkvm-static run -c1 --console virtio -p "earlycon root=/dev/vda" \
-k ./Image -d rootfs.ext4
Also, just add a print in kvm_riscv_vcpu_vstimer_expired() to
check the interrupt delivery and run `top` or similar auto-upating
cmd from guest. Within sometime one can notice that print from
timer expiry routine stops and the `top` cmd output will stop
updating.
This change fixes this by making sure we schedule the timer even
with delta_ns being zero to bring the VCPU out of sleep immediately.

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.
