[PATCH v2 1/2] clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Use stable count reader in erratum sne

[Keqian Zhu]

In commit 0ea415390cd3 ("clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Use arch_timer_read_counter
to access stable counters"), we separate stable and normal count reader to omit
unnecessary overhead on systems that have no timer erratum.

However, in erratum_set_next_event_tval_generic(), count reader becomes normal
reader. This converts it to stable reader.

Fixes: 0ea415390cd3 ("clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Use
       arch_timer_read_counter to access stable counters")

[PATCH v2 2/2] clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Correct fault programming of CNTKCTL_EL1.EVNTI

[Keqian Zhu]

ARM virtual counter supports event stream, it can only trigger an event
when the trigger bit (the value of CNTKCTL_EL1.EVNTI) of CNTVCT_EL0 changes,
so the actual period of event stream is 2^(cntkctl_evnti + 1). For example,
when the trigger bit is 0, then virtual counter trigger an event for every
two cycles.

Fixes: 037f637767a8 ("drivers: clocksource: add support for
       ARM architected timer event stream")

[zhukeqian]

Hi Marc,

Found that this bugfix series is not applied for now.
Does it need some modification? Wish you can pick it up :-)

Thanks,
Keqian

Fixes: tags should on a single line.

You don't explain why you are special-casing pos == 1.

With that fixed:

Acked-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>

This should go via the clocksource tree.

The logic is not clear here, I will try to reform it.
