Pull ARM new SoC family support from Arnd Bergmann:
"Two new SoC families are added this time.
Sugaya Taichi submitted support for the Milbeaut SoC family from
Socionext and explains:
"SC2000 is a SoC of the Milbeaut series. equipped with a DSP
optimized for computer vision. It also features advanced
functionalities such as 360-degree, real-time spherical stitching
with multi cameras, image stabilization for without mechanical
gimbals, and rolling shutter correction. More detail is below:
https://www.socionext.com/en/products/assp/milbeaut/SC2000.html"
Interestingly, this one has a history dating back to older chips made
by Socionext and previously Matsushita/Panasonic based on their own
mn10300 CPU architecture that was removed from the kernel last year.
Manivannan Sadhasivam adds support for another SoC family, this is the
Bitmain BM1880 chip used in the Sophon Edge TPU developer board.
The chip is intended for Deep Learning applications, and comes with
dual-core Arm Cortex-A53 to run Linux as well as a RISC-V
microcontroller core to control the tensor unit. For the moment, the
TPU is not accessible in mainline Linux, so we treat it as a generic
Arm SoC.

Add support for the Tegra210 timer that runs at oscillator clock
(TMR10-TMR13). We need these timers to work as clock event device and to
replace the ARMv8 architected timer due to it can't survive across the
power cycle of the CPU core or CPUPORESET signal. So it can't be a wake-up
source when CPU suspends in power down state.
Also convert the original driver to use timer-of API.

The Allwinner A64 SoC is known[1] to have an unstable architectural
timer, which manifests itself most obviously in the time jumping forward
a multiple of 95 years[2][3]. This coincides with 2^56 cycles at a
timer frequency of 24 MHz, implying that the time went slightly backward
(and this was interpreted by the kernel as it jumping forward and
wrapping around past the epoch).
Investigation revealed instability in the low bits of CNTVCT at the
point a high bit rolls over. This leads to power-of-two cycle forward
and backward jumps. (Testing shows that forward jumps are about twice as
likely as backward jumps.) Since the counter value returns to normal
after an indeterminate read, each "jump" really consists of both a
forward and backward jump from the software perspective.
Unless the kernel is trapping CNTVCT reads, a userspace program is able
to read the register in a loop faster than it changes. A test program
running on all 4 CPU cores that reported jumps larger than 100 ms was
run for 13.6 hours and reported the following:
Count | Event
-------+---------------------------
9940 | jumped backward 699ms
268 | jumped backward 1398ms
1 | jumped backward 2097ms
16020 | jumped forward 175ms
6443 | jumped forward 699ms
2976 | jumped forward 1398ms
9 | jumped forward 356516ms
9 | jumped forward 357215ms
4 | jumped forward 714430ms
1 | jumped forward 3578440ms
This works out to a jump larger than 100 ms about every 5.5 seconds on
each CPU core.
The largest jump (almost an hour!) was the following sequence of reads:
0x0000007fffffffff → 0x00000093feffffff → 0x0000008000000000
Note that the middle bits don't necessarily all read as all zeroes or
all ones during the anomalous behavior; however the low 10 bits checked
by the function in this patch have never been observed with any other
value.
Also note that smaller jumps are much more common, with backward jumps
of 2048 (2^11) cycles observed over 400 times per second on each core.
(Of course, this is partially explained by lower bits rolling over more
frequently.) Any one of these could have caused the 95 year time skip.
Similar anomalies were observed while reading CNTPCT (after patching the
kernel to allow reads from userspace). However, the CNTPCT jumps are
much less frequent, and only small jumps were observed. The same program
as before (except now reading CNTPCT) observed after 72 hours:
Count | Event
-------+---------------------------
17 | jumped backward 699ms
52 | jumped forward 175ms
2831 | jumped forward 699ms
5 | jumped forward 1398ms
Further investigation showed that the instability in CNTPCT/CNTVCT also
affected the respective timer's TVAL register. The following values were
observed immediately after writing CNVT_TVAL to 0x10000000:
CNTVCT | CNTV_TVAL | CNTV_CVAL | CNTV_TVAL Error
--------------------+------------+--------------------+-----------------
0x000000d4a2d8bfff | 0x10003fff | 0x000000d4b2d8bfff | +0x00004000
0x000000d4a2d94000 | 0x0fffffff | 0x000000d4b2d97fff | -0x00004000
0x000000d4a2d97fff | 0x10003fff | 0x000000d4b2d97fff | +0x00004000
0x000000d4a2d9c000 | 0x0fffffff | 0x000000d4b2d9ffff | -0x00004000
The pattern of errors in CNTV_TVAL seemed to depend on exactly which
value was written to it. For example, after writing 0x10101010:
CNTVCT | CNTV_TVAL | CNTV_CVAL | CNTV_TVAL Error
--------------------+------------+--------------------+-----------------
0x000001ac3effffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac4f10100f | +0x1000000
0x000001ac40000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac5110100f | -0x1000000
0x000001ac58ffffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac6910100f | +0x1000000
0x000001ac66000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac7710100f | -0x1000000
0x000001ac6affffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac7b10100f | +0x1000000
0x000001ac6e000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac7f10100f | -0x1000000
I was also twice able to reproduce the issue covered by Allwinner's
workaround[4], that writing to TVAL sometimes fails, and both CVAL and
TVAL are left with entirely bogus values. One was the following values:
CNTVCT | CNTV_TVAL | CNTV_CVAL
--------------------+------------+--------------------------------------
0x000000d4a2d6014c | 0x8fbd5721 | 0x000000d132935fff (615s in the past)
Reviewed-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>
========================================================================
Because the CPU can read the CNTPCT/CNTVCT registers faster than they
change, performing two reads of the register and comparing the high bits
(like other workarounds) is not a workable solution. And because the
timer can jump both forward and backward, no pair of reads can
distinguish a good value from a bad one. The only way to guarantee a
good value from consecutive reads would be to read _three_ times, and
take the middle value only if the three values are 1) each unique and
2) increasing. This takes at minimum 3 counter cycles (125 ns), or more
if an anomaly is detected.
However, since there is a distinct pattern to the bad values, we can
optimize the common case (1022/1024 of the time) to a single read by
simply ignoring values that match the error pattern. This still takes no
more than 3 cycles in the worst case, and requires much less code. As an
additional safety check, we still limit the loop iteration to the number
of max-frequency (1.2 GHz) CPU cycles in three 24 MHz counter periods.
For the TVAL registers, the simple solution is to not use them. Instead,
read or write the CVAL and calculate the TVAL value in software.
Although the manufacturer is aware of at least part of the erratum[4],
there is no official name for it. For now, use the kernel-internal name
"UNKNOWN1".

Currently, we don't have a sched_clock registered for RISC-V systems.
This means Linux time keeping will use jiffies (running at HZ) as the
default sched_clock.
To avoid this, we explicity provide sched_clock using RISC-V rdtime
instruction (similar to riscv_timer clocksource).

It turned out we used to use default implementation of sched_clock()
from kernel/sched/clock.c which was as precise as 1/HZ, i.e.
by default we had 10 msec granularity of time measurement.
Now given ARC built-in timers are clocked with the same frequency as
CPU cores we may get much higher precision of time tracking.
Thus we switch to generic sched_clock which really reads ARC hardware
counters.
This is especially helpful for measuring short events.
That's what we used to have:

The two drivers used for Ux500 sched_clock use two Kconfig
symbols to select which of the two gets used as sched_clock.
This isn't right: the workaround is trying to make sure that
the NONSTOP timer is used for sched_clock in order to keep
that clock ticking consistently over a suspend/resume
cycle. (Otherwise sched_clock simply stops during suspend
and continues after resume).
This will notably affect any timetstamped debug prints,
so that they show the absolute number of seconds since the
system was booted and does not loose wall-clock time during
suspend and resume as if time stood still.
The real way to fix this problem is to make sched_clock
take advantage of any NONSTOP clock source on the system
and adjust accordingly, not to try to work around this by
using a different sched_clock depending on what system
we are compiling for. This can solve the problem for
everyone instead of providing a local solution.

The other changes are the usual defconfig updates to enable additional

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
"This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
[ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ]
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar
[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"

We regularly run into build errors when a clocksource driver selects
CONFIG_TIMER_OF while CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS is disabled:
In file included from drivers/clocksource/timer-of.c:25:0:
drivers/clocksource/timer-of.h:35:28: error: field 'clkevt' has incomplete type
At the moment, three drivers can show this behavior: ARMV7M_SYSTICK,
CLKSRC_ST_LPC and CLKSRC_NPS. We could add further dependencies as we did
many times, but I have looked a little bit more at what architectures
are left that don't use GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, and this shows that there
is a better solution.
On arch/frv and arch/ia64, we never select CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS
and we also don't use ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET, which would
block the clocksource Kconfig menu. On m68k, some platforms use
CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, some use ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET, and some
use neither of them. The good news is that there is no configuration that
does not set CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS but that wants to enable any of
the Kconfig symbols in the menu, so we can simply replace the dependency
with the stricter one. While in theory one could have a clocksource
driver without the clockevent infrastructure, this seems unlikely
to be relevant in the future any more.
We can probably drop some of the other dependencies as well now,
e.g. there should generally be no reason to depend on CONFIG_ARM
unless the driver uses architecture specific assembly.

IMX Timer/PWM Module (TPM) supports both timer and pwm function while
this patch only adds the timer support. PWM would be added later.
The TPM counter, compare and capture registers are clocked by an
asynchronous clock that can remain enabled in low power modes.
NOTE: We observed in a very small probability, the bus fabric
contention between GPU and A7 may results a few cycles delay
of writing CNT registers which may cause the min_delta event got
missed, so we need add a ETIME check here in case it happened.

The different drivers are all using the same pattern when initializing.
1. Get the base address
2. Get the irq number
3. Get the clock
4. Prepare and enable the clock
5. Get the rate
6. Request an interrupt
Instead of repeating again and again these steps in all the drivers, let's
provide a common init routine to give the opportunity to factor all of them
out.
We can expect a significant kernel size improvement when the common routine
will be used in all the drivers.

This merges the Moxa Art timer driver into the Faraday FTTMR010
driver and replaces all Kconfig symbols to use the Faraday
driver instead. We are now so similar that the drivers can
be merged by just adding a few lines to the Faraday timer.
Differences:
- The Faraday driver explicitly sets the counter to count
upwards for the clocksource, removing the need for the
clocksource core to invert the value.
- The Faraday driver also handles sched_clock()
On the Aspeed, the counter can only count downwards, so support
the timers in downward-counting mode as well, and flag the
Aspeed to use this mode. This mode was tested on the Gemini so
I have high hopes that it'll work fine on the Aspeed as well.
After this we have one driver for all three SoCs and a generic
Faraday FTTMR010 timer driver, which is nice.

The clock supplying the arm-global-timer on the rk3188 is coming from the
the cpu clock itself and thus changes its rate everytime cpufreq adjusts
the cpu frequency making this timer unsuitable as a stable clocksource
and sched clock.
The rk3188, rk3288 and following socs share a separate timer block already
handled by the rockchip-timer driver. Therefore adapt this driver to also
be able to act as clocksource and sched clock on rk3188.
In order to test clocksource you can run following commands and check
how much time it take in real. On rk3188 it take about ~45 seconds.
cpufreq-set -f 1.6GHZ
date; sleep 60; date
In order to use the patch you need to declare two timers in the dts
file. The first timer will be initialized as clockevent provider
and the second one as clocksource. The clockevent must be from
alive subsystem as it used as backup for the local timers at sleep
time.
The patch does not break compatibility with older device tree files.
The older device tree files contain only one timer. The timer
will be initialized as clockevent, as expected.
rk3288 (and probably anything newer) is irrelevant to this patch,
as it has the arch timer interface. This patch may be useful
for Cortex-A9/A5 based parts.

The workaround is to reread the system count registers until the value

This patch refactors the handling of Freescale erratum A-008585. Now the
erratum is described in a generic arch_timer_erratum_workaround

and enable workarounds.

The current code uses the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE macro to fill the clksrc
table with a t-uple (name, init_function).
Unfortunately it ends up to the clockevent and the clocksource being
both initialized with this macro. It is not a problem by itself but there
is not a clear distinction between a clockevent and a clocksource in the
code initialization path. Somebody can argue there are the same IP block
and the same DT node. But conceptually from the software side, there are
two distincts entities and as is they should be initialized separetely.
Some drivers which do not have a clocksource end up by using the
CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE macro to declare a clockevent.
Another result is the fuzzy organization in the clocksource directory,
where the clockevents are implemented in the same file than the
clocksources or file labelled timer-something implementing a clocksource.
This patch provides another macro to specifically declare a clockevent in
the same way than the clocksource and gives the opportunity to write two
separate drivers, one for the clocksource and another for the clockevents.
Hopefully, that can help to do some housework in the directory, perhaps
split the drivers in to entities, for example:
- clksrc-rockchip.c
- clkevt-rockchip.c
Also, it gives the possibility to declare clocksources separately in the
DT and then use a clocksource from IP block while while clockevents are
used from another IP block.

These are programmed using ARC auxiliary register interface.
These are present in all ARC cores (ARC700 and ARC HS38)
TIMER0 serves as clockevent for all ARC linux builds.
TIMER1 is used for clocksource in arc700 builds.
- CONFIG_ARC_TIMERS_64BIT: 64-bit counters, RTC and GFRC found in

At the hardware level, the J-Core PIT is integrated with the interrupt
controller, but it is represented as its own device and has an
independent programming interface. It provides a 12-bit countdown
timer, which is not presently used, and a periodic timer. The interval
length for the latter is programmable via a 32-bit throttle register
whose units are determined by a bus-period register. The periodic
timer is used to implement both periodic and oneshot clock event
modes; in oneshot mode the interrupt handler simply disables the timer
as soon as it fires.
Despite its device tree node representing an interrupt for the PIT,
the actual irq generated is programmable, not hard-wired. The driver
is responsible for programming the PIT to generate the hardware irq
number that the DT assigns to it.
On SMP configurations, J-Core provides cpu-local instances of the PIT;
no broadcast timer is needed. This driver supports the creation of the
necessary per-cpu clock_event_device instances.
A nanosecond-resolution clocksource is provided using the J-Core "RTC"
registers, which give a 64-bit seconds count and 32-bit nanoseconds
that wrap every second. The driver converts these to a full-range
32-bit nanoseconds count.

equivalent write to CVAL.
The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads
return the same value, and when writing TVAL to retry until counter
reads before and after the write return the same value.
The workaround is enabled if the fsl,erratum-a008585 property is found in
the timer node in the device tree. This can be overridden with the
clocksource.arm_arch_timer.fsl-a008585 boot parameter, which allows KVM
users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to
automatically communicate this information.
This erratum can be found on LS1043A and LS2080A.
