arm64: use WFE for long delays

2017-10-13T17:56:15Z

The current delay implementation uses the yield instruction, which is a hint that it is beneficial to schedule another thread. As this is a hint, it may be implemented as a NOP, causing all delays to be busy loops. This is the case for many existing CPUs. Taking advantage of the generic timer sending periodic events to all cores, we can use WFE during delays to reduce power consumption. This is beneficial only for delays longer than the period of the timer event stream. If timer event stream is not enabled, delays will behave as yield/busy loops.

arm_arch_timer: Expose event stream status

2017-10-13T17:55:05Z

The arch timer configuration for a CPU might get reset after suspending said CPU. In order to reliably use the event stream in the kernel (e.g. for delays), we keep track of the state where we can safely consider the event stream as properly configured. After writing to cntkctl, we issue an ISB to ensure that subsequent delay loops can rely on the event stream being enabled.

clocksource: arm_arch_timer: add structs to describe MMIO timer

2017-04-19T15:11:48Z

In preparation for ACPI GTDT support, this patch adds structs to describe the MMIO timers indepedent of the firmware interface. Subsequent patches will use these to split the FW/HW probing logic, so that the HW probing logic can be shared by ACPI and DT.

clocksource: arm_arch_timer: add a new enum for spi type

2017-04-10T13:29:54Z

This patch add a new enum "arch_timer_spi_nr" and use it in the driver. Just for code's readability, no functional change. Signed-off-by: Fu Wei Acked-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland

clocksource: arm_arch_timer: move enums and defines to header file

2017-04-10T13:29:54Z

To support the arm_arch_timer via ACPI we need to share defines and enums between the driver and the ACPI parser code. So we split out the relevant defines and enums into arm_arch_timer.h. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Fu Wei Acked-by: Mark Rutland Tested-by: Xiongfeng Wang Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland

clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Remove arch_timer_get_timecounter

2016-05-03T10:54:21Z

The only call of arch_timer_get_timecounter (in KVM) has been removed. Signed-off-by: Julien Grall Acked-by: Christoffer Dall Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall

clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Extend arch_timer_kvm_info to get the virtual IRQ

2016-05-03T10:54:21Z

Currently, the firmware table is parsed by the virtual timer code in order to retrieve the virtual timer interrupt. However, this is already done by the arch timer driver. To avoid code duplication, extend arch_timer_kvm_info to get the virtual IRQ. Note that the KVM code will be modified in a subsequent patch.

clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Gather KVM specific information in a structure

2016-05-03T10:54:20Z

Introduce a structure which are filled up by the arch timer driver and used by the virtual timer in KVM. The first member of this structure will be the timecounter. More members will be added later. A stub for the new helper isn't introduced because KVM requires the arch timer for both ARM64 and ARM32. The function arch_timer_get_timecounter is kept for the time being and will be dropped in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Julien Grall Acked-by: Christoffer Dall Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall

arm64: KVM: Implement timer save/restore

Implement the timer save restore as a direct translation of the assembly code version. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier

time: move the timecounter/cyclecounter code into its own file.

2014-12-30T23:29:25Z

The timecounter code has almost nothing to do with the clocksource code. Let it live in its own file. This will help isolate the timecounter users from the clocksource users in the source tree. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
