[PATCH v2 0/4] Timer events for OpenSBI

[PATCH v2 0/4] Timer events for OpenSBI

[Anup Patel]

This series extends the sbi_timer framework to support
timer events usable from any part of OpenSBI. The platform
drivers in OpenSBI can use timer events for timeouts or
periodic checks.

These patches can also be found in sbi_timer_imp_v2 branch
at: https://github.com/avpatel/opensbi.git

Changes since v1:
- New PATCH4 adding sbi_timer_compute_delta() and friends
- Fix typo on cleanup() comments of struct sbi_timer_event
- Remove the spin_unlock()/lock() dance from sbi_timer_event_start()
  and sbi_timer_exit()
- Update timer device in sbi_timer_event_stop() only when
  required (i.e. ev->hart_index != current_hartindex())
- Break the loop in sbi_timer_process() when
  ev->time_stamp > sbi_timer_value())
- Allow callback() function in struct sbi_timer_event to
  optionally provide event re-start details

[PATCH v2 1/4] include: sbi: Add sbi_scratch_hartindex() macro

[Anup Patel]

Add helper macro to extract hart index from scratch pointer. This
can be used to check whether scratch pointer belongs to a particular
hart or not.

[PATCH v2 2/4] lib: sbi_timer: Introduce per-HART timer state

[Anup Patel]

Currently, only time_delta is per-HART so introduce per-HART timer
state for having more per-HART timer information.

[PATCH v2 3/4] lib: sbi_timer: Add support for timer events

[Anup Patel]

Currently, the sbi_timer only supports timer events configured via
SBI calls. Introduce struct sbi_timer_event and related functions
to allow configuring timer events from any part of OpenSBI.

[PATCH v2 4/4] lib: sbi_timer: Introduce sbi_timer_compute_delta() and friends

[Anup Patel]

The users of timer event have to compute next_event (aka timer value
in the future) based on desired units and unit frequency. Introduce
sbi_timer_compute_delta() and friends to simplify computing next_event
for timer event users.
