clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Force per-CPU interrupt to be level-triggered

2016-08-01T14:15:53Z

The ARM architected timer produces level-triggered interrupts (this is mandated by the architecture). Unfortunately, a number of device-trees get this wrong, and expose an edge-triggered interrupt. Until now, this wasn't too much an issue, as the programming of the trigger would fail (the corresponding PPI cannot be reconfigured), and the kernel would be happy with this. But we're about to change this, and trust DT a lot if the driver doesn't provide its own trigger information. In that context, the timer breaks badly. While we do need to fix the DTs, there is also some userspace out there (kvmtool) that generates the same kind of broken DT on the fly, and that will completely break with newer kernels. As a safety measure, and to keep buggy software alive as well as buying us some time to fix DTs all over the place, let's check what trigger configuration has been given us by the firmware. If this is not a level configuration, then we know that the DT/ACPI configuration is bust, and we pick some defaults which won't be worse than the existing setup.

clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Control the evtstrm via the cmdline

2016-06-28T09:35:50Z

Disabling the eventstream can be useful for both remotely debugging a deployed production system and development of code using WFE-based polling loops. Whilst this can currently be controlled via a Kconfig option (CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER_EVTSTREAM), it's often desirable to toggle the feature on the command line, so this patch adds a new command-line option ("clocksource.arm_arch_timer.evtstrm") to do just that. The default behaviour is determined based on CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER_EVTSTREAM. Cc: Marc Zyngier Cc: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano

clocksources: Switch back to the clksrc table

2016-06-28T08:19:35Z

All the clocksource drivers's init function are now converted to return an error code. CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE is no longer used as well as the clksrc-of table.

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

2016-06-28T08:19:22Z

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: 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: Allow the arch timer to use the HYP timer

2016-02-29T18:34:16Z

With the ARMv8.1 VHE, the kernel can run in HYP mode, and thus use the HYP timer instead of the normal guest timer in a mostly transparent way, except for the interrupt line. This patch reworks the arch timer code to allow the selection of the HYP PPI, possibly falling back to the guest timer if not available. Reviewed-by: Christoffer Dall Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier
