Several architectures have a dummy timer driver tightly coupled with their broadcast code to support machines without cpu-local timers (or where there is a lack of driver support). Since 12ad1000: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function" it's been possible to write broadcast-capable timer drivers decoupled from the broadcast mechanism. We can use this functionality to implement a generic dummy timer driver that can be shared by all architectures with generic tick broadcast (ARCH_HAS_TICK_BROADCAST). This patch implements a generic dummy timer using this facility.

On an SMP system with only one global clockevent and a dummy clockevent per CPU we run into problems. We want the dummy clockevents to be registered as the per CPU tick devices, but we can only achieve that if we register the dummy clockevents before the global clockevent or if we artificially inflate the rating of the dummy clockevents to be higher than the rating of the global clockevent. Failure to do so leads to boot hangs when the dummy timers are registered on all other CPUs besides the CPU that accepted the global clockevent as its tick device and there is no broadcast timer to poke the dummy devices. If we're registering multiple clockevents and one clockevent is global and the other is local to a particular CPU we should choose to use the local clockevent regardless of the rating of the device. This way, if the clockevent is a dummy it will take the tick device duty as long as there isn't a higher rated tick device and any global clockevent will be bumped out into broadcast mode, fixing the problem described above.

Some new users of the ARM sched_clock framework are going through the arm-soc tree. Before 38ff87f7 (sched_clock: Make ARM's sched_clock generic for all architectures, 2013-06-01) the header file was in asm, but now it's in linux. One solution would be to do an evil merge of the arm-soc tree and fix up the asm users, but it's easier to add a temporary asm header that we can remove along with the few stragglers after the merge window is over.

There is a small race between when the cycle count is read from the hardware and when the epoch stabilizes. Consider this scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- cyc = read_sched_clock() cyc_to_sched_clock() update_sched_clock() ... cd.epoch_cyc = cyc; epoch_cyc = cd.epoch_cyc; ... epoch_ns + cyc_to_ns((cyc - epoch_cyc) The cyc on cpu0 was read before the epoch changed. But we calculate the nanoseconds based on the new epoch by subtracting the new epoch from the old cycle count. Since epoch is most likely larger than the old cycle count we calculate a large number that will be converted to nanoseconds and added to epoch_ns, causing time to jump forward too much. Fix this problem by reading the hardware after the epoch has stabilized.

Daniel Tang authored
This patch adds a clocksource/clockevent driver for the timer found on some models in the TI-Nspire calculator series. The timer has two 16bit subtimers within its memory mapped I/O interface but only the first can generate interrupts. The first subtimer is used to generate clockevents but only if an interrupt number and register is given. The interrupt acknowledgement mechanism is a little strange because the interrupt mask and acknowledge registers are located in another memory mapped I/O peripheral. The address of this register is passed to the driver through device tree bindings. The second subtimer is used as a clocksource because it isn't capable of generating an interrupt. This subtimer is always added. Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Tang <dt.tangr@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org>

All the virtualized platforms (KVM, lguest and Xen) have persistent wallclocks that have more than one second of precision. read_persistent_wallclock() and update_persistent_wallclock() allow for nanosecond precision but their implementation on x86 with x86_platform.get/set_wallclock() only allows for one second precision. This means guests may see a wallclock time that is off by up to 1 second. Make set_wallclock() and get_wallclock() take a struct timespec parameter (which allows for nanosecond precision) so KVM and Xen guests may start with a more accurate wallclock time and a Xen dom0 can maintain a more accurate wallclock for guests.

It seems we made a mistake when creating dw_apb_timer_of.c: picoxcell sched_clock had parts that were not related to dw_apb_timer, yet we moved them to dw_apb_timer_of, and tried to use them on socfpga. This results in system where user/system time is not measured properly, as demonstrated by time dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/zero bs=100000 count=100 So this patch switches sched_clock to hardware that exists on both platforms, and adds missing of_node_put() in dw_apb_timer_init().

Provide a sysfs interface to allow unbinding of clockevent devices. The device is unbound if it is unused or if there is a replacement device available. Unbinding of broadcast devices is not supported as we don't want to foster that nonsense. If no replacement device is available the unbind returns -EBUSY.

With the module refcount held for the current clocksource there is no way to unload the module. Provide a sysfs interface which allows to unbind the clocksource. One could argue that the clocksource override could be (ab)used to do so, but the clocksource override cannot be used from the kernel itself, while an unbind function can be used to programmatically check whether a clocksource can be shutdown or not. The unbind functionality uses the new skip current feature of clocksource_select and verifies that a fallback clocksource has been installed. If the clocksource which should be unbound is the current clocksource and no fallback can be found, unbind returns -EBUSY. This does not support the unbinding of a clocksource which is used as the watchdog clocksource. No point in fostering crappy hardware.
