arch_timer: Move to generic sched_clock framework

Register with the generic sched_clock framework now that it
supports 64 bits. This fixes two problems with the current
sched_clock support for machines using the architected timers.
First off, we don't subtract the start value from subsequent
sched_clock calls so we can potentially start off with
sched_clock returning gigantic numbers. Second, there is no
support for suspend/resume handling so problems such as discussed
in 6a4dae5 (ARM: 7565/1: sched: stop sched_clock() during
suspend, 2012-10-23) can happen without this patch. Finally, it
allows us to move the sched_clock setup into drivers clocksource
out of the arch ports.

ARM: convert arm/arm64 arch timer to use CLKSRC_OF init

This converts arm and arm64 to use CLKSRC_OF DT based initialization for
the arch timer. A new function arch_timer_arch_init is added to allow for
arch specific setup.

This has a side effect of enabling sched_clock on omap5 and exynos5. There
should not be any reason not to use the arch timers for sched_clock.

ARM: arch_timer: use full 64-bit counter for sched_clock

Only 32-bits of the arch timer were being used and wrapping was needlessly
being done in s/w. By using the full counter (56-64 bits), we don't need
to deal with wrapping and can simplify the implementation when using
arch timer.

ARM: arch_timer: include linux/errno.h

Patch 8a4da6e "arm: arch_timer: move core to drivers/clocksource"
moved a lot of code out of arch_timer.c, but ended up deleting
too much, which broke some configurations.

Obviously, include linux/errno.h is required to return error
values.

Without this patch, building allmodconfig results in:

arm: arch_timer: move core to drivers/clocksource

The core functionality of the arch_timer driver is not directly tied to
anything under arch/arm, and can be split out.

This patch factors out the core of the arch_timer driver, so it can be
shared with other architectures. A couple of functions are added so
that architecture-specific code can interact with the driver without
needing to touch its internals.

The ARM_ARCH_TIMER config variable is moved out to
drivers/clocksource/Kconfig, existing uses in arch/arm are replaced with
HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER, which selects it.

arm: arch_timer: add arch_counter_set_user_access

Several bits in CNTKCTL reset to 0, including PL0VTEN. For architectures
using the generic timer which wish to have a fast gettimeofday vDSO
implementation, these bits must be set to 1 by the kernel. For
architectures without a vDSO, it's best to leave the bits set to 0 for
now to ensure that if and when support is added, it's implemented sanely
architecture wide.

As the bootloader might set PL0VTEN to a value that doesn't correspond
to that which the kernel prefers, we must explicitly set it to the
architecture port's preferred value.

This patch adds arch_counter_set_user_access, which sets the PL0 access
permissions to that required by the architecture. For arch/arm, this
currently means disabling all userspace access.

arm: arch_timer: divorce from local_timer api

Currently, the arch_timer driver is tied to the arm port, as it relies
on code in arch/arm/smp.c to setup and teardown timers as cores are
hotplugged on and off. The timer is registered through an arm-specific
registration mechanism, preventing sharing the driver with the arm64
port.

This patch moves the driver to using a cpu notifier instead, making it
easier to port.

arm: arch_timer: standardise counter reading

We're currently inconsistent with respect to our accesses to the
physical and virtual counters, mixing and matching the two.

This patch introduces and uses a function pointer for accessing the
correct counter based on whether we're using physical or virtual
interrupts. All current accesses to the counter accessors are redirected
through it.

When the driver is moved out to drivers/clocksource, there's the
possibility that code called before the timer code is initialised will
attempt to call arch_timer_read_counter (e.g. sched_clock for AArch64).
To avoid having to have to check whether the timer has been initialised
either in arch_timer_read_counter or one of it's callers, a default
implementation is assigned that simply returns 0.

# 56942fec 21-Sep-2012 Jonathan Austin <Jonathan.Austin@arm.com>

ARM: 7538/1: delay: add registration mechanism for delay timer sources

The current timer-based delay loop relies on the architected timer to
initiate the switch away from the polling-based implementation. This is
unfortunate for platforms without the architected timers but with a
suitable delay source (that is, constant frequency, always powered-up
and ticking as long as the CPUs are online).

This patch introduces a registration mechanism for the delay timer
(which provides an unconditional read_current_timer implementation) and
updates the architected timer code to use the new interface.

ARM: 7523/1: arch_timers: enable the use of the virtual timer

At the moment, the arch_timer driver only uses the physical timer,
which can cause problem if PL2 hasn't enabled PL1 access in CNTHCTL,
which is likely in a virtualized environment. Instead, the virtual
timer is always available.

This patch enables the use of the virtual timer, unless no
interrupt is provided in the DT for it, in which case it falls
back to the physical timer.

ARM: 7452/1: delay: allow timer-based delay implementation to be selected

This patch allows a timer-based delay implementation to be selected by
switching the delay routines over to use get_cycles, which is
implemented in terms of read_current_timer. This further allows us to
skip the loop calibration and have a consistent delay function in the
face of core frequency scaling.

To avoid the pain of dealing with memory-mapped counters, this
implementation uses the co-processor interface to the architected timers
when they are available. The previous loop-based implementation is
kept around for CPUs without the architected timers and we retain both
the maximum delay (2ms) and the corresponding conversion factors for
determining the number of loops required for a given interval. Since the
indirection of the timer routines will only work when called from C,
the sa1100 sleep routines are modified to branch to the loop-based delay
functions directly.

This patch implements read_current_timer using the architected timers

Furthermore, if read_current_timer is exported then we can implement

implementing __udelay and friends.

ARM: 7444/1: kernel: add arch-timer C3STOP feature

When a CPU is shutdown its architected timer comparators registers are
lost. Within CPU idle, before processors enter shutdown they enter
clock events broadcast mode through the

clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER, cpuid);

function where the local timers are emulated by a global always-on timer.
On CPU resume, the per-CPU tick device normal mode is restored by exiting
broadcast mode through

clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_EXIT, cpuid);

In order for this mechanism to function, architected timers should add to
their feature C3STOP, which means that they are not able to function when the
CPU is in off-mode.
