Hyper-V clock/timer code in hyperv_timer.c is mostly independent from
other VMbus drivers, but building for ARM64 without hyperv_timer.c
shows some remaining entanglements. A default implementation of
hv_read_reference_counter can just read a Hyper-V synthetic register
and be independent of hyperv_timer.c, so move this code out and into
hv_common.c. Then it can be used by the timesync driver even if
hyperv_timer.c isn't built on a particular architecture. If
hyperv_timer.c *is* built, it can override with a faster implementation.
Also provide stubs for stimer functions called by the VMbus driver when
hyperv_timer.c isn't built.
No functional changes.

As we are using cpu_pm to save and restore context, we must also save and
restore the timer sysconfig register TIOCP_CFG. This is needed because
we are not calling PM runtime functions at all with cpu_pm.

Pull ARM Apple M1 platform support from Arnd Bergmann:
"The Apple M1 is the processor used it all current generation Apple
Macintosh computers. Support for this platform so far is rudimentary,
but it boots and can use framebuffer and serial console over a special
USB cable.
Support for several essential on-chip devices (USB, PCIe, IOMMU, NVMe)
is work in progress but was not ready in time.

This allows the devicetree to correctly represent the available set of
timers, which varies from device to device, without the need for fake
dummy interrupts for unavailable slots.
Also add the hyp-virt timer/PPI, which is not currently used, but worth

STIMER0 interrupts are most naturally modeled as per-cpu IRQs. But
because x86/x64 doesn't have per-cpu IRQs, the core STIMER0 interrupt
handling machinery is done in code under arch/x86 and Linux IRQs are
not used. Adding support for ARM64 means adding equivalent code
using per-cpu IRQs under arch/arm64.
A better model is to treat per-cpu IRQs as the normal path (which it is
for modern architectures), and the x86/x64 path as the exception. Do this
by incorporating standard Linux per-cpu IRQ allocation into the main
SITMER0 driver code, and bypass it in the x86/x64 exception case. For
x86/x64, special case code is retained under arch/x86, but no STIMER0
interrupt handling code is needed under arch/arm64.
No functional change.

pwm_omap_dmtimer.h is used only:
- to typedef struct omap_dm_timer to pwm_omap_dmtimer
- for macro PWM_OMAP_DMTIMER_TRIGGER_OVERFLOW_AND_COMPARE
Rest of the file is pretty mush unsed. So reuse omap_dm_timer

and restore
omap_dm_timer_enable() restores the entire context(including counter)
based on 2 conditions:
- If get_context_loss_count is populated and context is lost.
- If get_context_loss_count is not populated update unconditionally.
Case2 has a side effect of updating the counter register even though
context is not lost. When timer is configured in pwm mode, this is
causing undesired behaviour in the pwm period.
Instead of using get_context_loss_count call back, implement cpu_pm
notifier with context save and restore support. And delete the
get_context_loss_count callback all together.

hyperv_timer.c exports hyperv_cs, which is used by stimers and the
timesync mechanism. However, the clocksource dependency is not
needed: these mechanisms only depend on the partition reference
counter (which can be read via a MSR or via the TSC Reference Page).
Introduce the (function) pointer hv_read_reference_counter, as an
embodiment of the partition reference counter read, and export it
in place of the hyperv_cs pointer. The latter can be removed.
This should clarify that there's no relationship between Hyper-V
stimers & timesync and the Linux clocksource abstractions. No
functional or semantic change.

Hyper-V has historically initialized stimer-based clockevents late in the
process of onlining a CPU because clockevents depend on stimer
interrupts. In the original Hyper-V design, stimer interrupts generate a
VMbus message, so the VMbus machinery must be running first, and VMbus
can't be initialized until relatively late. On x86/64, LAPIC timer based
clockevents are used during early initialization before VMbus and
stimer-based clockevents are ready, and again during CPU offlining after
the stimer clockevents have been shut down.
Unfortunately, this design creates problems when offlining CPUs for
hibernation or other purposes. stimer-based clockevents are shut down
relatively early in the offlining process, so clockevents_unbind_device()
must be used to fallback to the LAPIC-based clockevents for the remainder
of the offlining process. Furthermore, the late initialization and early
shutdown of stimer-based clockevents doesn't work well on ARM64 since there
is no other timer like the LAPIC to fallback to. So CPU onlining and
offlining doesn't work properly.
Fix this by recognizing that stimer Direct Mode is the normal path for
newer versions of Hyper-V on x86/64, and the only path on other
architectures. With stimer Direct Mode, stimer interrupts don't require any
VMbus machinery. stimer clockevents can be initialized and shut down
consistent with how it is done for other clockevent devices. While the old
VMbus-based stimer interrupts must still be supported for backward
compatibility on x86, that mode of operation can be treated as legacy.
So add a new Hyper-V stimer entry in the CPU hotplug state list, and use
that new state when in Direct Mode. Update the Hyper-V clocksource driver
to allocate and initialize stimer clockevents earlier during boot. Update
Hyper-V initialization and the VMbus driver to use this new design. As a
result, the LAPIC timer is no longer used during boot or CPU
onlining/offlining and clockevents_unbind_device() is not called. But
retain the old design as a legacy implementation for older versions of
Hyper-V that don't support Direct Mode.

There is no particular reason to not enable TSC page clocksource on
32-bit. mul_u64_u64_shr() is available and despite the increased
computational complexity (compared to 64bit) TSC page is still a huge win
compared to MSR-based clocksource.
In-kernel reads:
MSR based clocksource: 3361 cycles
TSC page clocksource: 49 cycles
Reads from userspace (utilizing vDSO in case of TSC page):
MSR based clocksource: 5664 cycles
TSC page clocksource: 131 cycles
Enabling TSC page on 32bits allows to get rid of CONFIG_HYPERV_TSCPAGE as
it is now not any different from CONFIG_HYPERV_TIMER.

Continue consolidating Hyper-V clock and timer code into an ISA
independent Hyper-V clocksource driver.
Move the existing clocksource code under drivers/hv and arch/x86 to the new
clocksource driver while separating out the ISA dependencies. Update
Hyper-V initialization to call initialization and cleanup routines since
the Hyper-V synthetic clock is not independently enumerated in ACPI.
Update Hyper-V clocksource users in KVM and VDSO to get definitions from
the new include file.
No behavior is changed and no new functionality is added.

Hyper-V clock/timer code and data structures are currently mixed
in with other code in the ISA independent drivers/hv directory as
well as the ISA dependent Hyper-V code under arch/x86.
Consolidate this code and data structures into a Hyper-V clocksource driver
to better follow the Linux model. In doing so, separate out the ISA
dependent portions so the new clocksource driver works for x86 and for the
in-process Hyper-V on ARM64 code.
To start, move the existing clockevents code to create the new clocksource
driver. Update the VMbus driver to call initialization and cleanup routines
since the Hyper-V synthetic timers are not independently enumerated in
ACPI.
No behavior is changed and no new functionality is added.

so the hyper-v clocksource update can be applied.
|
|
Currently the clocksource and clockevent support for davinci platforms
lives in mach-davinci. It hard-codes many things, uses global variables,
implements functionalities unused by any platform and has code fragments
scattered across many (often unrelated) files.
Implement a new, modern and simplified timer driver and put it into
drivers/clocksource. We still need to support legacy board files so
export a config structure and a function that allows machine code to
register the timer.
The timer we're using is 64-bit but can be programmed in dual 32-bit
mode (both chained and unchained).
On all davinci SoCs except for da830 we're using both halves. Lower half
for clockevents and upper half for clocksource. On da830 we're using the
lower half for both with the help of a compare register.
This patch contains the core code and support for clockevent. The
clocksource code will be included in a subsequent patch.

A host running in VHE mode gets the EL2 physical timer as its time
source (accessed using the EL1 sysreg accessors, which get re-directed
to the EL2 sysregs by VHE).
The EL1 physical timer remains unused by the host kernel, allowing us to
pass that on directly to a KVM guest and saves us from emulating this
timer for the guest on VHE systems.
Store the EL1 Physical Timer's IRQ number in
struct arch_timer_kvm_info on VHE systems to allow KVM to use it.

Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"This release brings up a new platform based on the old ARM9 core: the
Nuvoton NPCM is used as a baseboard management controller, competing
with the better known ASpeed AST2xx series.
Another important change is the addition of ARMv7-A based chips in
mach-stm32. The older parts in this platform are ARMv7-M based
microcontrollers, now they are expanding to general-purpose workloads.
The other changes are the usual defconfig updates to enable additional
drivers, lesser bugfixes. The largest updates as often are the ongoing
OMAP cleanups, but we also have a number of changes for the older PXA
and davinci platforms this time.
For the Renesas shmobile/r-car platform, some new infrastructure is
needed to make the watchdog work correctly.
Supporting Multiprocessing on Allwinner A80 required a significant
amount of new code, but is not doing anything unexpected"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing
applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large
new vector context (<= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further
work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI
is solid now.
Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but
they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in
future.
Plenty of acronym soup here:
- initial support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
- improved handling for SError interrupts (required to handle RAS
events)
- enable GCC support for 128-bit integer types
- remove kernel text addresses from backtraces and register dumps
- use of WFE to implement long delay()s
- ACPI IORT updates from Lorenzo Pieralisi
- perf PMU driver for the Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE)
- perf PMU driver for Hisilicon's system PMUs
- misc cleanups and non-critical fixes"

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The current delay implementation uses the yield instruction, which is a
hint that it is beneficial to schedule another thread. As this is a hint,
it may be implemented as a NOP, causing all delays to be busy loops. This
is the case for many existing CPUs.
Taking advantage of the generic timer sending periodic events to all
cores, we can use WFE during delays to reduce power consumption. This is
beneficial only for delays longer than the period of the timer event
stream.
If timer event stream is not enabled, delays will behave as yield/busy
loops.

The arch timer configuration for a CPU might get reset after suspending
said CPU.
In order to reliably use the event stream in the kernel (e.g. for delays),
we keep track of the state where we can safely consider the event stream as
properly configured. After writing to cntkctl, we issue an ISB to ensure
that subsequent delay loops can rely on the event stream being enabled.

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

The ARM architected timer can generate events (used for waking up
CPUs executing the wfe instruction) at a frequency represented as a
power-of-2 divisor of the clock rate.
An event stream might be used:
- To implement wfe-based timeouts for userspace locking implementations.
- To impose a timeout on a wfe for safeguarding against any programming
error in case an expected event is not generated.
This patch computes the event stream frequency aiming for a period
of 100us between events. It uses ARM/ARM64 specific backends to configure
and enable the event stream.

Add support for the memory mapped timers by filling in the
read/write functions and adding some parsing code. Note that we
only register one clocksource, preferring the cp15 based
clocksource over the mmio one.
To keep things simple we register one global clockevent. This
covers the case of UP and SMP systems with only mmio hardware and
systems where the memory mapped timers are used as the broadcast
timer in low power modes.
The DT binding allows for per-CPU memory mapped timers in case we
want to support that in the future, but the code isn't added
here. We also don't do much for hypervisor support, although it
should be possible to support it by searching for at least two
frames where one frame has the virtual capability and then
updating KVM timers to support it.

Using an enum for the register we wish to access allows newer
compilers to determine if we've forgotten a case in our switch
statement. This allows us to remove the BUILD_BUG() instances in
the arm64 port, avoiding problems where optimizations may not
happen.
To try and force better code generation we're currently marking
the accessor functions as inline, but newer compilers can ignore
the inline keyword unless it's marked __always_inline. Luckily on
arm and arm64 inline is __always_inline, but let's make
everything __always_inline to be explicit.

Switching between reading the virtual or physical counters is
problematic, as some core code wants a view of time before we're fully
set up. Using a function pointer and switching the source after the
first read can make time appear to go backwards, and having a check in
the read function is an unfortunate block on what we want to be a fast
path.
Instead, this patch makes us always use the virtual counters. If we're a
guest, or don't have hyp mode, we'll use the virtual timers, and as such
don't care about CNTVOFF as long as it doesn't change in such a way as
to make time appear to travel backwards. As the guest will use the
virtual timers, a (potential) KVM host must use the physical timers
(which can wake up the host even if they fire while a guest is
executing), and hence a host must have CNTVOFF set to zero so as to have
a consistent view of time between the physical timers and virtual
counters.
