[ Upstream commit 47691ced158ab3a7ce2189b857b19c0c99a9aa80 ]

The HV_ACCESS_TSC_INVARIANT bit is always zero when Linux runs as the
root partition. The root partition will see directly what the hardware
provides.

The old logic in ms_hyperv_init_platform caused the native TSC clock
source to be incorrectly marked as unstable on x86. Fix it.

Skip the unnecessary checks in code for the root partition. Add one
extra comment in code to clarify the behavior.

[ Upstream commit c445bffbf28f721e05d0ce06895045fc62aaff7c ]

During normal operation the timers are reprogrammed including an
interrupt acknowledgement. This has no effect as the whole timer
is setup from scratch afterwards. Especially in an interrupt this
has already been done by rttm_timer_interrupt().

Change the behaviour as follows:

- Use rttm_disable_timer() during reprogramming
- Keep rttm_stop_timer() for all other use cases.

Downstream has already tested and confirmed a patch. See

[ Upstream commit e7a25106335041aeca4fdf50a84804c90142c886 ]

The OpenWrt distribution has switched from kernel longterm 6.6 to
6.12. Reports show that devices with the Realtek Otto switch platform
die during operation and are rebooted by the watchdog. Sorting out
other possible reasons the Otto timer is to blame. The platform
currently consists of 4 targets with different hardware revisions.
It is not 100% clear which devices and revisions are affected.

Analysis shows:

A more aggressive sched/deadline handling leads to more timer starts
with small intervals. This increases the bug chances. See
https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=175276556023276&amp;w=2

Focusing on the real issue a hardware limitation on some devices was
found. There is a minimal chance that a timer ends without firing an
interrupt if it is reprogrammed within the 5us before its expiration
time. Work around this issue by introducing a bounce() function. It
restarts the timer directly before the normal restart functions as
follows:

- Stop timer
- Restart timer with a slow frequency.
- Target time will be &gt;5us
- The subsequent normal restart is outside the critical window

Downstream has already tested and confirmed a patch. See

not for MMIO devices. Replace them with readl() and writel()

commit cd32e596f02fc981674573402c1138f616df1728 upstream.

The current implementation of clps711x_timer_init() has multiple error
paths that directly return without releasing the base I/O memory mapped
via of_iomap(). Fix of_iomap leaks in error paths.

[ Upstream commit 409f8fe03e08f92bf5be96cedbcd7a3e8fb2eeaf ]

The newly added function causes a build failure on 32-bit targets with
older compiler version such as gcc-10:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/clocksource/timer-tegra186.o: in function `tegra186_wdt_get_timeleft':
timer-tegra186.c:(.text+0x3c2): undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'

The calculation can trivially be changed to avoid the division entirely,
as USEC_PER_SEC is a multiple of 5. Change both such calculation for
consistency, even though gcc apparently managed to optimize the other one
properly already.

Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A treewide cleanup of struct cycle_counter const annotations.

  The initial idea of making them const was correct as they were
  seperate instances. When they got embedded into larger data
  structures, which are even modified by the callback this got moot. The
  only reason why this went unnoticed is that the required
  container_of() casts the const attribute forcefully away.

  Stop pretending that it is const"

When KCOV is enabled all functions get instrumented, unless
the __no_sanitize_coverage attribute is used. To prepare for
__no_sanitize_coverage being applied to __init functions, we have to
handle differences in how GCC's inline optimizations get resolved. For
arm this exposed several places where __init annotations were missing
but ended up being "accidentally correct". Fix these cases and force
several functions to be inline with __always_inline.
