The current RISC-V timer driver is convoluted and implements two
distinct timers:
1. S-mode timer: This is for Linux RISC-V S-mode with MMU. The
clocksource is implemented using TIME CSR and clockevent device
is implemented using SBI Timer calls.
2. M-mode timer: This is for Linux RISC-V M-mode without MMU. The
clocksource is implemented using CLINT MMIO time register and
clockevent device is implemented using CLINT MMIO timecmp registers.
This patchset removes clint related code from RISC-V timer driver and
arch/riscv directory. Instead, the series adds a dedicated MMIO based
CLINT driver under drivers/clocksource directory which can be used by
Linux RISC-V M-mode (i.e NoMMU Linux RISC-V).
The patchset is based up Linux-5.8-rc2 and can be found at riscv_clint_v2
branch of: https://github.com/avpatel/linux.git
This series is tested on:
1. QEMU RV64 virt machine using Linux RISC-V S-mode
2. QEMU RV32 virt machine using Linux RISC-V S-mode
3. QEMU RV64 virt machine using Linux RISC-V M-mode (i.e. NoMMU)
Changes since v1:
- Rebased series on Linux-5.8-rc2
- Added pr_warn() for case where ipi_ops not available in PATCH1
- Updated ipi_inject() prototype to use "struct cpumask *" in PATCH1
- Updated CLINT_TIMER kconfig option to depend on RISCV_M_MODE in PATCH4
- Added riscv,clint0 compatible string in DT bindings document
Anup Patel (5):
RISC-V: Add mechanism to provide custom IPI operations
RISC-V: Remove CLINT related code
clocksource/drivers/timer-riscv: Remove MMIO related stuff
clocksource/drivers: Add CLINT timer driver
dt-bindings: timer: Add CLINT bindings

+SiFive Core Local Interruptor (CLINT)
+-------------------------------------
+
+SiFive (and other RISC-V) SOCs include an implementation of the SiFive Core
+Local Interruptor (CLINT) for M-mode timer and inter-processor interrupts.
+
+It directly connects to the timer and inter-processor interrupt lines of
+various HARTs (or CPUs) so RISC-V per-HART (or per-CPU) local interrupt
+controller is the parent interrupt controller for CLINT device.
+
+The clock frequency of CLINT is specified via "timebase-frequency" DT
+property of "/cpus" DT node. The "timebase-frequency" DT property is
+described in: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/riscv/cpus.yaml
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be "riscv,clint0" or "sifive,clint-1.0.0". A specific
+ string identifying the actual implementation can be added if implementation
+ specific worked arounds are needed.
+- reg : Should contain 1 register range (address and length).
+- interrupts-extended : Specifies which HARTs (or CPUs) are connected to
+ the CLINT. Each node pointed to should be a riscv,cpu-intc node, which
+ has a riscv node as parent.
+
+Example:
+
+ clint@2000000 {
+ compatible = "sifive,clint-1.0.0", "sifive,fu540-c000-clint";
+ interrupts-extended = <
+ &cpu1-intc 3 &cpu1-intc 7
+ &cpu2-intc 3 &cpu2-intc 7
+ &cpu3-intc 3 &cpu3-intc 7
+ &cpu4-intc 3 &cpu4-intc 7>;
+ reg = <0x2000000 0x4000000>;
+ };

2.25.1
Right now the RISC-V timer is convoluted to support:
1. Linux RISC-V S-mode (with MMU) where it will use TIME CSR
for clocksource and SBI timer calls for clockevent device.
2. Linux RISC-V M-mode (without MMU) where it will use CLINT
MMIO counter register for clocksource and CLINT MMIO compare
register for clockevent device.
This patch removes MMIO related stuff from RISC-V timer driver
so that we can have a separate CLINT timer driver.

This all generally LGTM, though I haven't been through the code line-by-line
yet. It touches a bunch of trees, so I'd prefer to have some Acks before
merging -- I'll dig through the RISC-V specific stuff, but the new CLINT driver
probhably deserves a look from one of the clocksource folks.
I think the only issue is that the port will be broken between patch 2 and 4,
as at that point we won't have an M-mode timer driver. I think it shouldn't be
too much to just reorder these, LMK if you want to do it or you want me to.
Thanks!

A new versioning scheme from SiFive? To review, we don't do version
numbers unless there's a well defined and documented scheme. IOW, one

The "riscv,clint0" is already used by various RISC-V systems (including QEMU).
The "sifive,clint-1.0.0" is for being consistent with the PLIC
versioning scheme.
There is no clear documentation of CLINT versioning scheme. I think it's best
to just drop "sifive,clint-1.0.0" . Agree ??

Okay, I will try your suggestion to reorder patches. There is another minor
build issue reported by test bots which I will fix as well.
I will send v3 in a couple of days before end-of-week.

Not my problem that undocumented bindings are being used.

Where is that documented? This is what I expect you to be following or
updating to match:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sifive/sifive-blocks-ip-versioning.txt

No, because then you are left with a very generic compatible string.
You need something specific enough to handle any implementation
features/quirks/bugs without needing a DT update. Typically, this
means a per SoC compatible string for a block as even the same IP
version can have different integration quirks.
