      clocksource/drivers/mips-gic-timer: Convert init function to return error · d8152bf8
      由 Daniel Lezcano 提交于 
      The init functions do not return any error. They behave as the following:

  - panic, thus leading to a kernel crash while another timer may work and
       make the system boot up correctly

  or

  - print an error and let the caller unaware if the state of the system

Change that by converting the init functions to return an error conforming
to the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_RET prototype.

Proper error handling (rollback, errno value) will be changed later case
by case, thus this change just return back an error or success in the init
function.

      MIPS: VDSO: Add implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() · a7f4df4e
      由 Alex Smith 提交于 
      Add user-mode implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to
the VDSO. This is currently usable with 2 clocksources: the CP0 count
register, which is accessible to user-mode via RDHWR on R2 and later
cores, or the MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) timer, which
provides a "user-mode visible" section containing a mirror of its
counter registers. This section must be mapped into user memory, which
is done below the VDSO data page.

When a supported clocksource is not in use, the VDSO functions will
return -ENOSYS, which causes libc to fall back on the standard syscall
path.

When support for neither of these clocksources is compiled into the
kernel at all, the VDSO still provides clock_gettime(), as the coarse
realtime/monotonic clocks can still be implemented. However,
gettimeofday() is not provided in this case as nothing can be done
without a suitable clocksource. This causes the symbol lookup to fail
in libc and it will then always use the standard syscall path.

This patch includes a workaround for a bug in QEMU which results in
RDHWR on the CP0 count register always returning a constant (incorrect)
value. A fix for this has been submitted, and the workaround can be
removed after the fix has been in stable releases for a reasonable
amount of time.

A simple performance test which calls gettimeofday() 1000 times in a
loop and calculates the average execution time gives the following
results on a Malta + I6400 (running at 20MHz):

 - Syscall:    ~31000 ns
 - VDSO (GIC): ~15000 ns
 - VDSO (CP0): ~9500 ns

[markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
- Minor code re-arrangements in order for mappings to be made
in the order they appear to the process' address space.
- Move do_{monotonic, realtime} outside of the MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL ifdef
- Use gic_get_usm_range so we can do the GIC mapping in the
arch/mips/kernel/vdso instead of the GIC irqchip driver]

      CLOCKSOURCE: mips-gic: Allow GIC clock to be specified in device-tree · 5b4e8453
      由 Andrew Bresticker 提交于 
      As an alternative to the "clock-frequency" property, allow the GIC
timer operating clock to be specified in the device-tree instead.
This is useful on systems which use common clock or where the GIC
is not fixed to a particular frequency and is instead, for example,
derived from the CPU clock.

      MIPS: Refactor GIC clocksource code. · dfa762e1
      由 Steven J. Hill 提交于 
      Reorganize some of the GIC clocksource driver code. Below is a list of
the various changes.

  * No longer select CSRC_GIC by default for Malta platform.
  * Limit choice for either the GIC or R4K clocksource, not both.
  * Change location in Makefile.
  * Created new 'gic_read_count' function in common 'irq-gic.c' file.
  * Change 'git_hpt_read' function in 'csrc-gic.c' to use new function.
  * Surround GIC specific code in Malta platform code with #ifdef's.
  * Only initialize the GIC clocksource if it was selected. Original
    code called it unconditionally if a GIC was found.
