From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: mark.rutland@arm.com (Mark Rutland) Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2013 16:07:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCHv3 00/11] Unify arm_generic and arch_timer drivers Message-ID: <1357747640-18594-1-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org This is the rebase to an -rc I promised back in December [1]. Changes since v2: * Rebase to v3.8-rc2 Changes since v1: * Rename arch_counter_{enable=>set}_user_access. * * Explicitly disable access to counters from userspace on arm. * * Add device_node refcounting fix. * * Fix conflict with Will Deacon's AArch64 vdso changes. * * Simplify the cpu notifier. * * Fix a couple of style issues. Currently we have two drivers for the ARM generic / architected timer, arch_timer in arch/arm, and arm_generic in drivers/clocksource. This is an unnecessary duplication of code, and will only lead to maintenance headaches later. This patch series splits the generic portion of the arch_timer out to drivers/clocksource, and ports the arm64 code to use it. The now unused arm_generic driver is removed in the process. Separating the arch_timer driver from the arm-specific local_timer api currently loses us broadcast timer support. I've posted another series [2] which remedies this by decoupling the timer broadcast mechanism from drivers. The series applies to v3.8-rc2, and has been tested on a TC2 test chip. It also applies to Catalin's soc-armv8-model branch [3], the result of which has been tested on an AArch64 model. Christoffer, this will conflict with one of your KVM/ARM architected timers support patches ([PATCH v5 1/4] ARM: arch_timers: switch to physical timers if HYP mode is available). I'm happy to fold that into this series if you're ok with that?
