  • 8266891e2   ARM: arch_timers: switch to physical timers if HYP mode is available ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 1aee5d7a8   arm64: move from arm_generic to arm_arch_timer ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 8a4da6e36   arm: arch_timer: move core to drivers/clocksource ... Browse Code »

    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.
