[PATCH v2 1/4] arm64: arch_timer: Add device tree binding for hisilicon-161601 erratum

[Ding Tianhong]

This erratum describes a bug in logic outside the core, so MIDR can't be
used to identify its presence, and reading an SoC-specific revision
register from common arch timer code would be awkward.  So, describe it
in the device tree.

v2: Use the new erratum name and update the description.

[PATCH v2 2/4] arm64: arch_timer: Introduce a generic erratum handing mechanism for fsl-a008585

[Ding Tianhong]

The workaround for hisilicon,161601 will check the return value of the system counter
by different way, in order to distinguish with the fsl-a008585 workaround, introduce
a new generic erratum handing mechanism for fsl-a008585 and rename some functions. 

v2: Introducing a new generic erratum handling mechanism for fsl erratum a008585.

[PATCH v2 3/4] arm64: arch_timer: Work around Erratum Hisilicon-161601

[Ding Tianhong]

Erratum Hisilicon-161601 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the
potential to contain an erroneous value when the timer value changes".
Accesses to TVAL (both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter
read.  Accesses to CVAL are not affected.

The workaround is to reread the system count registers until the value of the second
read is larger than the first one by less than 32, the system counter can be guaranteed
not to return wrong value twice by back-to-back read and the error value is always larger
than the correct one by 32. Writes to TVAL are replaced with an equivalent write to CVAL.

The workaround is enabled if the hisilicon,erratum-161601 property is found in
the timer node in the device tree.  This can be overridden with the
clocksource.arm_arch_timer.hisilicon-161601 boot parameter, which allows KVM
users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to
automatically communicate this information.

Fix some description for fsl erratum a008585.

v2: Significant rework based on feedback, including seperate the fsl erratum a008585
    to another patch, update the erratum name and remove unwanted code.

This is too generic a name. Please make it more specific.

What is the use of this field?

This is a very generic name for something that has a global visibility.
Please choose a more specific variable name.

As mentioned in my initial review, you've now broken modular access to
any of the registers. Please fix it.

So now that you've indirected all calls through a set of pointers, why
do you keep the __fsl_a008585_read_reg() macro inside the include file?
I don't think it has any purpose in being globally visible now.

And here's the proof that the erratum field is useless.

It used to be possible to disable the erratum workaround on the command
line, and you've just removed that feature. Please restore it.

This should be in the previous patch as well, as it only messes with the
FSL erratum.

Do you see a pattern here? Surely you can factor a bit of that code (and
remove the nonsensical bits).

It really difficult to give the accurate standard, theoretically the error should not happened
twice together, so maybe 2 is enough here, I just give a arbitrary value.

I think the sentence *Verify whether the value of the second read is larger than the first by
less than 32 is the only way to confirm the value is correct* could explain why should *(_new - _old) >> 5*.
it is the same as (_new - _old)/32, also mean the _new should never bigger than _old more than 32.

This is not about the explanation of the erratum, but about the location
of the #define, which can be made private to the .c file instead of
being globally visible.

I'm really not keen on having a kernel commandline parameter for this.
It's not something we've done for other, similar errata (e.g. CNTFRQ
reporting the wrong value) and I think it's a slippery slope to having
more of these workarounds controlled at boot-time. If you have a board
that is affected by this, it's always going to need the workaround. Why
would you turn it off?
