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.Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland

Pull late ARM Exynos multiplatform changes from Arnd Bergmann:
"These continue the multiplatform support for exynos, adding support
for building most of the essential drivers (clocksource, clk, irqchip)
when combined with other platforms. As a result, it should become
really easy to add full multiplatform exynos support in 3.11, although
we don't yet enable it for 3.10.The changes were not included in the earlier multiplatform series in
order to avoid clashes with the other Exynos updates.This also includes work from Tomasz Figa to fix the pwm clocksource
code on Exynos, which is not strictly required for multiplatform, but
related to the other patches in this set and needed as a bug fix for
at least one board."* tag 'multiplatform-for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (22 commits)

ATAGS-based boot, without device tree, by providing an exported function

This adds a new clocksource driver for the PWM timer that is
present in most Samsung SoCs, based on the existing driver in
arch/arm/plat-samsung/samsung-time.c and many changes implemented by
Tomasz Figa.Originally, the conversion of all Samsung machines to the new driver was
planned for 3.10, but that work ended up being too late and too invasive
just before the merge window.Unfortunately, other changes in the Exynos platform resulted in some
Exynos4 setups, particularly the Universal C210 board to be broken. In
order to fix that with minimum risk, so we now leave the existing pwm
clocksource driver in place for all older platforms and use the new
driver only for device tree enabled boards. This way, we can get the
broken machines running again using DT descriptions.All clocksource changes were implemented by Tomasz, while the DT
registration was rewritten by Arnd.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

This converts arm and arm64 to use CLKSRC_OF DT based initialization for
the arch timer. A new function arch_timer_arch_init is added to allow for
arch specific setup.This has a side effect of enabling sched_clock on omap5 and exynos5. There
should not be any reason not to use the arch timers for sched_clock.Signed-off-by: Rob Herring

Add time keeping code for metag. Meta hardware threads have 2 timers.
The background timer (TXTIMER) is used as a free-running time base, and
the interrupt timer (TXTIMERI) is used for the timer interrupt. Both
counters traditionally count at approximately 1MHz.Signed-off-by: James Hogan

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.Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland

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.Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland

This patch adds support for the ARM generic timers with A64 instructions
for accessing the timer registers. It uses the physical counter as the
clock source and the virtual counter as sched_clock.The timer frequency can be specified via DT or read from the CNTFRQ_EL0
register. The physical counter is also accessible from user space
allowing fast gettimeofday() implementation.Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier
