From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Geert Uytterhoeven Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 18:41:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ARM: shmobile: timer: Fix preset_lpj leading to too short delays Message-Id: <1452537674-20006-2-git-send-email-geert+renesas@glider.be> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-sh@vger.kernel.org On all shmobile ARM SoCs, loop-based delays may complete early, which can be after only 1/3 (Cortex A9) or 1/2 (Cortex A7 or A15) of the minimum required time. This is caused by calculating preset_lpj based on incorrect assumptions about the number of clock cycles per loop: - All of Cortex A7, A9, and A15 run __loop_delay() at 1 loop per CPU clock cycle, - As of commit 11d4bb1bd067f9d0 ("ARM: 7907/1: lib: delay-loop: Add align directive to fix BogoMIPS calculation"), Cortex A8 runs __loop_delay() at 1 loop per 2 instead of 3 CPU clock cycles. On SoCs with Cortex A7 and/or A15 CPU cores, this went unnoticed, as delays use the ARM arch timer if available. R-Car Gen2 doesn't work if the arch timer is disabled. However, APE6 can be used without the arch timer.
