[PATCH v3 03/20] arm64: Use the physical counter when available for read_cycles

Christoffer Dall
2017-09-23T00:41:50Z

Currently get_cycles() is hardwired to arch_counter_get_cntvct() on
arm64, but as we move to using the physical timer for the in-kernel
time-keeping, we need to make that more flexible.

First, we need to make sure the physical counter can be read on equal
terms to the virtual counter, which includes adding physical counter
read functions for timers that require errata.

Second, we need to make a choice between reading the physical vs virtual
counter, depending on which timer is used for time keeping in the kernel
otherwise. We can do this using a static key to avoid a performance
penalty during runtime when reading the counter.
