System counter is always-on, but the arch timers(logic implementing timers comparators) might not be off when the processor is powered down. I think you need this timer and are using it for low power idle states in which case you will use this as a clock event and not clock source. It will be used as a hardware broadcast event source. There's no call to sched_clock_register in mtk_timer.c, so it can't be the sched clock, so you need to fix the commit log.

The counters should continue to work as long as they are in always-on domain. Only timers are lost when you enter deeper idle states. So I agree with using MTK timer as broadcast timer/eventsource.

Hi, Sudeep, ARM ARM said the counter should be in always-on domain, but unfortunately that not true for mt8173. The last CPU enter idle can choose to enter deep idle mode and the counter value would be lost. Our firmware backup/recover the counter so it looks like it is stopped. That's why I thought we need to use it as sched clocksource. On mt8173, we will fix the firmware to add missing counts, so it will looks like the counter keep counting. But other mediatek platform have similar issue, and the 2 counter have same resolution, so I still want to keep using GPT as sched clocksource.

You don't mean sched clock, you just mean a clock_event_device. A sched_clock is a high-precision clocksource that is read from (which by definition requires the CPUs to be non-idle). It doesn't have anything to do with interrupts and therefore cannot wake devices from idle. While the clock_event_device for the generic timer can't necessarily wake CPUs from idle. The generic timer system counter counts even if CPUs are idle, so the generic timer is fine as a sched_clock. Thanks, Mark. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

I notice ARM ARM said the arch timer shouldn't stop when idle, but unfortunately that not true for mt8173. The last CPU enter idle can choose to enter deep idle mode and the counter value would be lost. Our firmware backup/recover the counter so it looks like it is stopped. We will change the firmware to add missing count when back from deep idle to make it looks like the counter never stop. Joe.C ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

Sorry, sending this series too early without cover letter and removing Change-Id. Here's the cover letter: This is actually v3 of "add GPT timer support for mt8173" series. This is based on v4.3-rc1 + clockevents-4.4[1] and James's mediatek-clk tree[2]. Changes compare to previous version[3]: - the first two mtk_timer related changes are removed because they are replaced/accepted in clockevents tree. - Remove 'add 13mhz clock for MT8173' because it is accepted in mediatek-clk tree. - Kconfig.platforms path change. So we only have 2 patches left here. Matthias, can you take these and help to remove the Change-Id?

Yes I can take this two patches, but I don't see the mediatek-clk tree accepted by the maintainers yet. As far as I can see, without the 13 MHz clock [1], the sched clock won't work.
