Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: arch_timer: Fix arm64 platforms not booting
Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2014 15:20:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1419776431-26217-1-git-send-email-christoffer.dall@linaro.org> (raw)
Commit 0b46b8a718c6e ("clocksource: arch_timer: Fix code to...") fixes
timer issues with certain ARMv7 platforms, but unfortunately breaks
arm64 platforms with hyp mode (EL2) enabled.
The commit only sets arch_timer_use_virtual to false under CONFIG_ARM,
but forgets that the config variable is also set in other code paths
(actually, right underneath the check in the patch) with detrimental
consequences as we've now introduced a direct early call to BUG() on
practically all arm64 platforms.
One could argue that this code could be refactored to use different
variables for checking which *timer* to use and which *counter* to use,
which seems to be the desired difference between ARM and arm64 in this
case, but this approach fixes an urgent issue for now.

This was apparently already discovered by Yingjoe Chen in this thread
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/24/41 and Catalin recommended a similar
fix.
