Subject: [PATCHv6 00/11] Remove ARM local timer API

In light of Mark Rutland's recent work on divorcing the ARM architected
timers from the ARM local timer API and introducing a generic arch hook for
broadcast it seems that we should remove the local timer API entirely.
Doing so will reduce the architecture dependencies of our timer drivers,
reduce code in ARM core, and simplify timer drivers because they no longer
go through an architecture layer that is essentially a hotplug notifier.

Previous attempts have been made[1] unsuccessfully. I'm hoping this can
be accepted now so that we can clean up the timer drivers that are
used in both UP and SMP situations. Right now these drivers have to ignore
the timer setup callback on the boot CPU to avoid registering clockevents
twice. This is not very symmetric and causes convuluted code that does
the same thing in two places.

Patches based on next-20130418

I'm still looking for Acks/Tested-by on EXYNOS and PRIMA2.

[1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/145705

Note: A hotplug notifier is used by both x86 for the apb_timer (see
apbt_cpuhp_notify) and by metag (see arch_timer_cpu_notify in
metag_generic.c) so this is not new.

Changes since v5:
* Rebased onto v3.10-rc1
* Rebase caused minor updates to mct patch

Changes since v4:
* Rebased onto next-20130418
* Rebase caused minor updates to mct patch and twd Kconfig

Changes since v3:
* New patch to fix SMP with dummy timers registered after a global timer
* Push this_cpu_ptr lower to avoid preemptible false positive warnings
* Collected acks/tested-bys

Changes since v2:
* Bug fixes in smp_twd from Tony Lindgren's testing
* Move smp_twd to use late_time_init hook
* Collected Acks

Changes since v1:
* Picked up Mark's generic dummy timer driver
* Split out omap changes into new patch

Separate the armada 370xp local timers from the local timer API.
This will allow us to remove ARM local timer support in the near

Subject: [PATCHv6 02/11] clocksource: add generic dummy timer driver

From: Mark Rutland <[email protected]>

Several architectures have a dummy timer driver tightly coupled with
their broadcast code to support machines without cpu-local timers (or
where there is a lack of driver support).

Since 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function"
it's been possible to write broadcast-capable timer drivers decoupled
from the broadcast mechanism. We can use this functionality to implement
a generic dummy timer driver that can be shared by all architectures
with generic tick broadcast (ARCH_HAS_TICK_BROADCAST).

This patch implements a generic dummy timer using this facility.

Subject: [PATCHv6 01/11] clockevents: Prefer CPU local devices over global devices

On an SMP system with only one global clockevent and a dummy
clockevent per CPU we run into problems. We want the dummy
clockevents to be registered as the per CPU tick devices, but
we can only achieve that if we register the dummy clockevents
before the global clockevent or if we artificially inflate the
rating of the dummy clockevents to be higher than the rating
of the global clockevent. Failure to do so leads to boot
hangs when the dummy timers are registered on all other CPUs
besides the CPU that accepted the global clockevent as its tick
device and there is no broadcast timer to poke the dummy
devices.

If we're registering multiple clockevents and one clockevent is
global and the other is local to a particular CPU we should
choose to use the local clockevent regardless of the rating of
the device. This way, if the clockevent is a dummy it will take
the tick device duty as long as there isn't a higher rated tick
device and any global clockevent will be bumped out into
broadcast mode, fixing the problem described above.

Subject: [PATCHv6 09/11] clocksource: time-armada-370-xp: Fix sparse warning

drivers/clocksource/time-armada-370-xp.c:217:13: warning: symbol
'armada_370_xp_timer_init' was not declared. Should it be static?

Also remove the __init marking in the prototype as it's
unnecessary and drop the init.h file.

Now that the TWD doesn't rely on the local timer API, OMAP can
stop selecting it in Kconfig and relying on the config option to
decide if it should call smp_twd functions.

Subject: [PATCHv6 04/11] ARM: smp_twd: Divorce smp_twd from local timer API

Separate the smp_twd timers from the local timer API. This will
allow us to remove ARM local timer support in the near future and
gets us closer to moving this driver to drivers/clocksource.

I tested this on Zynq. Zynq uses the ARM twd timer as clockevent devices when
available. When I remove the twd nodes from DT the clockevent device is
a timer common to both CPUs. Without this patch this seems to stall the
second CPU resulting in the system to hang sooner or later.

[ 65.360000] INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
[ 65.360000] 1: (1 GPs behind) idle=56e/0/0 softirq=0/0

[ 65.360000] Task dump for CPU 1:

With this patch everything looks fine.

So there looks to be a fair amount of additions in the ARM tree, do
those already have acks from Arnd/Olof/other folks? (I think I was only
cc'ed on the first two patches).

Daniel (cc'ed) has just started helping out here, and should be able to
review and hopefully ack or pick up the timer related
drivers/clocksource changes to feed to Thomas' tree. Not sure if he's
got them in his mailbox so you might want to resend them and make sure
he's CC'ed.

If Arnd/Olof/whomever else from the arm side has acked things, Daniel
probably could queue the arm changes too, but it might be better just to
get Daniel's ack on the drivers/clocksource changes and then queue
things via arm-soc?

thanks

I'm still missing acks from Kukjin and Barry.

Either way works for me. I would just like to see this merged
into 3.11. I guess I will resend one more time.

Yes please, resend. I will review them.

queuing the patches via arm-soc makes sense for me, but I prefer to
review them before we decide to which tree we get them merged.

I don't think that should hold off the patch series. It's been tested on
most other platforms over the course of several months. If the platform
maintainers aren't responsive enough, fixing the issues becomes their
problem.

FWIW, have my
