[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm926ejs: timer: Replace bss variable by gdr

[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm926ejs: timer: Replace bss variable by gdr

[Heiko Schocher]

Reuse the gd->tbl value for timestamp and add gd->lastinc for lastinc bss
values in the arm926ejs timers implementation.

The usage of bss values in drivers before initialisation of bss is forbidden.
In that special case some data in .rel.dyn gets corrupted.

This patch is similiar to the patch Dirk Behme posted
for the armv7/omap-common/timer.c and added suggestions
from Reinhard Meyer.

Tested on the arm926ejs mx27 based magnesium board
Tested on the arm926ejs kirkwood based suen3 board

Ok, I rebase this patch against current mainline, and send a new
version.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] arm926ejs: timer: Replace bss variable by gdr

[Heiko Schocher]

Reuse the gd->tbl value for timestamp and add gd->lastinc for lastinc bss
values in the arm926ejs timers implementation.

The usage of bss values in drivers before initialisation of bss is forbidden.
In that special case some data in .rel.dyn gets corrupted.

This patch is similiar to the patch Dirk Behme posted
for the armv7/omap-common/timer.c and added suggestions
from Reinhard Meyer.

I'm the only one who doesn't like such defines? They might be handy for 
quick fixes, but in regard to style and readablity I don't like them. 
When looking at teh code where they will used, you won't see the actual 
place where they are stored. And in more complex expression they might 
become dangerous to use because they hide the operator "->".

Regards,

Alexander

I accept the patch because it un-breaks support for ARM cpus, and I 
prefer a working fix to a perfect fix in this specific, transitional, 
situation.

However a general rework of ARM timer code is in order so that all SoCs 
and CPUs share the same set of gd variables with the same names and the 
same logic; and when we get that, this code shall move along.

About this rework, as the saying goes... "Patches Welcome ?". :)

There were several suggestions about that in the past (including from me)
that involve rework everywhere HZ related timeouts are used. I still
prefer a method as follows (because it does not need repeated mul/div calculations
nor necessarily 64 bit arithmetic):

u32 timeout = timeout_init(100); /* 100ms timeout */

do {...} while (!timed_out(timeout));

Internally it would be like:

timeout_init(x):
  return fast_tick + (x * fast_tick_rate) / CONFIG_SYS_HZ;
  /* this might need 64 bit precision in some implementations */

time_out(x):
  return ((i32)(x - fast_tick)) < 0;

If the tick were really high speed (and then 64 bits),
fast_tick could be derived by shifting the tick some bits to the right.

But, as long as we cannot agree on something, there will be no time spent
to make patches...

Best Regards,
Reinhard

My experience is that such quick fixes (or workarounds) usually 
manifests (because they become forgotten) and later on might even be 
copied to other places. ;)

Anyway, I'll have to thank for that patch, because it fixes at least one 
of the problems I have while trying to chainload a 2010.12 from a 
2010.12 on a kirkwood system.

Regards, and again, thanks for the patch, even if I found it ugly,

Alexander

As this is a open source project, feel free to work with us, that
this get not forgotten!

> copied to other places. ;)

Yes, it is not the best solution, but it fixes a bug. The patch is
some days old (and made as a quick fix), and I vote also to make a
better approach for timers on arm, but in the time this patch was
pending none did a better (accepted) approach...

As I said above, feel free to post a patch with a better approach.

bye,
Heiko
