ARM: arch_timer: Silence debug preempt warnings

2013-04-27T00:17:29Z

Hot-plugging with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y on a device with arm architected timers causes a slew of "using smp_processor_id() in preemptible" warnings: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: sh/111 caller is arch_timer_cpu_notify+0x14/0xc8 This happens because sometimes the cpu notifier, arch_timer_cpu_notify(), is called in preemptible context and other times in non-preemptible context but we use this_cpu_ptr() to retrieve the clockevent in all cases. We're only going to actually use the pointer in non-preemptible context though, so push the this_cpu_ptr() access down into the cases to force the checks to occur only in non-preemptible contexts.

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

2013-04-11T20:11:15Z

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_timers: switch to physical timers if HYP mode is available

2013-01-31T15:52:00Z

If we're booted in HYP mode, it is possible that we'll run some kind of virtualized environment. In this case, it is a better to switch to the physical timers, and leave the virtual timers to guests. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Acked-by: Catalin Marinas

arm64: move from arm_generic to arm_arch_timer

2013-01-31T15:51:59Z

The arch_timer driver supports a superset of the functionality of the arm_generic driver, and is not tied to a particular arch. This patch moves arm64 to use the arch_timer driver, gaining additional functionality in doing so, and removes the (now unused) arm_generic driver. Timer-related hooks specific to arm64 are moved into arch/arm64/kernel/time.c. Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Acked-by: Catalin Marinas Acked-by: Marc Zyngier Acked-by: Santosh Shilimkar

arm: arch_timer: move core to drivers/clocksource

2013-01-31T15:51:49Z

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.
