time/timecounter: Fix the lie that struct cyclecounter is const

2025-07-01T13:38:25Z

In both the read callback for struct cyclecounter, and in struct timecounter, struct cyclecounter is declared as a const pointer. Unfortunatly, a number of users of this pointer treat it as a non-const pointer as it is burried in a larger structure that is heavily modified by the callback function when accessed. This lie had been hidden by the fact that container_of() "casts away" a const attribute of a pointer without any compiler warning happening at all. Fix this all up by removing the const attribute in the needed places so that everyone can see that the structure really isn't const, but can, and is, modified by the users of it.

arm64: Modify _midr_range() functions to read MIDR/REVIDR internally

2025-02-26T21:29:44Z

These changes lay the groundwork for adding support for guest kernels, allowing them to leverage target CPU implementations provided by the VMM. No functional changes intended.

ptp/kvm, arm_arch_timer: Set system_counterval_t.cs_id to constant

2024-02-07T16:05:21Z

Identify the clocksources used by ptp_kvm by setting the clocksource ID enum constants. This avoids dereferencing struct clocksource. Once the system_counterval_t.cs member will be removed, this will also avoid the need to obtain clocksource pointers from kvm_arch_ptp_get_crosststamp(). The clocksource IDs are associated to timestamps requested from the KVM hypervisor, so the proper clocksource ID is known at the ptp_kvm request site. While at it, also make the ptp_kvm_get_time_fn() 'ret' variable type int as that's what the function return value is.
