[PATCH v4 0/2] arch_timers patches to enable KVM support

[Marc Zyngier]

This series is aimed at offering the minimum level of support that KVM
needs when it comes to architected timers.

The first patch changes the driver to use the virtual timer by default
instead of the physical one (access to the later is conditioned by the
hypervisor settings, while the former is always available). This could
be required even if the kernel is not running as a guest.

The second patch exposes a clockcycle counter that can be used by
other subsystems.

Tested on A15 (VE+TC2), both as a host and a KVM guest. Patches
against v3.6-rc4.

* From v3:
- Use %Q/%R qualifiers to read 64bit registers, and move accessors
  into a separate function.
- Some minor cleanup.

* From v2:
- Trick the compiler into generating really nice code, at the expense
  of a certain lack of abstraction
- Don't mandate physical timer non-secure PPI, in order to stay
  compatible with existing and possibly incomplete DTs.

[PATCH v4 1/2] ARM: arch_timers: enable the use of the virtual timer

[Marc Zyngier]

At the moment, the arch_timer driver only uses the physical timer,
which can cause problem if PL2 hasn't enabled PL1 access in CNTHCTL,
which is likely in a virtualized environment. Instead, the virtual
timer is always available.

This patch enables the use of the virtual timer, unless no
interrupt is provided in the DT for it, in which case it falls
back to the physical timer.

Should this be

if (!arch_timer_ppi[PHYS_SECURE_PPI]*&&*
		    !arch_timer_ppi[PHYS_NONSECURE_PPI]) {
...
?

<snip>

Also, I have based my next mm-arch_timer patch on this.

Thanks,
Rohit Vaswani

Hmmm. You're allowed to have a secure interrupt and no non-secure, but
not the opposite. So it should be

if (!arch_timer_ppi[PHYS_SECURE_PPI])

I'll fix this. But frankly, I'd love to to get rid of all these tests
and mandate the DT to fully describe all the interrupts.

Sounds good. Let me know when I can have a look at it.

Thanks,

[PATCH v4 2/2] ARM: arch_timers: register a time/cycle counter

[Marc Zyngier]

Some subsystems (KVM for example) need access to a cycle counter.
In the KVM case, this is used to measure the time delta between
host and guest in order to accurately generate timer events for
the guest.
