ARM: sa11x0/pxa: acquire timer rate from the clock rate

2016-10-18T07:12:36Z

As both pxa and sa1100 provide a clock to the timer, the rate can be inferred from the clock rather than hard encoded in a functional call. This patch changes the pxa timer to have a mandatory clock which is used as the timer rate. Signed-off-by: Robert Jarzmik Acked-by: Daniel Lezcano Acked-by: Russell King

clocksource/drivers/sp804: Convert init function to return error

2016-06-28T08:19:30Z

The init functions do not return any error. They behave as the following: - panic, thus leading to a kernel crash while another timer may work and make the system boot up correctly or - print an error and let the caller unaware if the state of the system Change that by converting the init functions to return an error conforming to the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_RET prototype. Proper error handling (rollback, errno value) will be changed later case by case, thus this change just return back an error or success in the init function. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano

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

2015-12-14T11:30:39Z

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

ARM: 8366/1: move Dual-Timer SP804 driver to drivers/clocksource

2015-06-02T08:58:18Z

The ARM Dual-Timer SP804 module is peripheral found not only on ARM32 platforms but also on ARM64 platforms. This patch moves the driver out of arch/arm to driver/clocksource so that it can be used on ARM64 platforms also.

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

ARM: pxa: Add non device-tree timer link to clocksource

2014-07-23T10:02:39Z

As clocksource pxa_timer was moved to clocksource framework, the pxa_timer initialization needs to be a bit amended, to pass the necessary informations to clocksource, ie : - the timer interrupt (mach specific) - the timer registers base (ditto) - the timer clockrate Signed-off-by: Robert Jarzmik Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano

drivers: clocksource: add support for ARM architected timer event stream

2013-09-26T08:48:00Z

The ARM architected timer can generate events (used for waking up CPUs executing the wfe instruction) at a frequency represented as a power-of-2 divisor of the clock rate. An event stream might be used: - To implement wfe-based timeouts for userspace locking implementations. - To impose a timeout on a wfe for safeguarding against any programming error in case an expected event is not generated. This patch computes the event stream frequency aiming for a period of 100us between events. It uses ARM/ARM64 specific backends to configure and enable the event stream.
