Erratum Hisilicon-161010101 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the potential to contain an erroneous value when the timer value changes". Accesses to TVAL (both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter read. Accesses to CVAL are not affected. The workaround is to reread the system count registers until the value of the second read is larger than the first one by less than 32, the system counter can be guaranteed not to return wrong value twice by back-to-back read and the error value is always larger than the correct one by 32. Writes to TVAL are replaced with an equivalent write to CVAL.

Currently we have code inline in the arch timer probe path to cater for Freescale erratum A-008585, complete with ifdeffery. This is a little ugly, and will get worse as we try to add more errata handling. This patch refactors the handling of Freescale erratum A-008585. Now the erratum is described in a generic arch_timer_erratum_workaround structure, and the probe path can iterate over these to detect errata and enable workarounds. This will simplify the addition and maintenance of code handling Hisilicon erratum 161010101.

Erratum A-008585 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the potential to contain an erroneous value for a small number of core clock cycles every time the timer value changes". Accesses to TVAL (both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter read. Accesses to CVAL are not affected. The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads return the same value. Writes to TVAL are replaced with an 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.

由 Marc Zyngier 提交于
The ARM architected timer produces level-triggered interrupts (this is mandated by the architecture). Unfortunately, a number of device-trees get this wrong, and expose an edge-triggered interrupt. Until now, this wasn't too much an issue, as the programming of the trigger would fail (the corresponding PPI cannot be reconfigured), and the kernel would be happy with this. But we're about to change this, and trust DT a lot if the driver doesn't provide its own trigger information. In that context, the timer breaks badly. While we do need to fix the DTs, there is also some userspace out there (kvmtool) that generates the same kind of broken DT on the fly, and that will completely break with newer kernels. As a safety measure, and to keep buggy software alive as well as buying us some time to fix DTs all over the place, let's check what trigger configuration has been given us by the firmware. If this is not a level configuration, then we know that the DT/ACPI configuration is bust, and we pick some defaults which won't be worse than the existing setup.

Disabling the eventstream can be useful for both remotely debugging a deployed production system and development of code using WFE-based polling loops. Whilst this can currently be controlled via a Kconfig option (CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER_EVTSTREAM), it's often desirable to toggle the feature on the command line, so this patch adds a new command-line option ("clocksource.arm_arch_timer.evtstrm") to do just that.

So far, we have been blindly assuming that having access to a memory-mapped timer frame implies that the individual elements of that frame frame are already enabled. Whilst it's the firmware's job to give us non-secure access to frames in the first place, we should not rely on implementations always being generous enough to also configure CNTACR for those non-secure frames (e.g. [1]). Explicitly enable feature-level access per-frame, and verify that the access we want is really implemented before trying to make use of it.

Commit 0b46b8a7 (clocksource: arch_timer: Fix code to use physical timers when requested) introduces the use of physical counters in the ARM architected timer driver. However, he arm64 kernel uses CNTVCT in VDSO. When booting in EL2, the kernel switches to the physical timers to make things easier for KVM but it continues to use the virtual counter both in user and kernel. While in such scenario CNTVCT == CNTPCT (since CNTVOFF is initialised by the kernel to 0), we want to spot firmware bugs corrupting CNTVOFF early (which would affect CNTVCT).

Some 32-bit (ARMv7) systems are architected like this: * The firmware doesn't know and doesn't care about hypervisor mode and we don't want to add the complexity of hypervisor there. * The firmware isn't involved in SMP bringup or resume. * The ARCH timer come up with an uninitialized offset (CNTVOFF) between the virtual and physical counters. Each core gets a different random offset. * The device boots in "Secure SVC" mode. * Nothing has touched the reset value of CNTHCTL.PL1PCEN or CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN (both default to 1 at reset) On systems like the above, it doesn't make sense to use the virtual counter. There's nobody managing the offset and each time a core goes down and comes back up it will get reinitialized to some other random value. This adds an optional property which can inform the kernel of this situation, and firmware is free to remove the property if it is going to initialize the CNTVOFF registers when each CPU comes out of reset. Currently, the best course of action in this case is to use the physical timer, which is why it is important that CNTHCTL hasn't been changed from its reset value and it's a reasonable assumption given that the firmware has never entered HYP mode. Note that it's been said that on ARMv8 systems the firmware and kernel really can't be architected as described above. That means using the physical timer like this really only makes sense for ARMv7 systems.

This is a bug fix for using physical arch timers when the arch_timer_use_virtual boolean is false. It restores the arch_counter_get_cntpct() function after removal in 0d651e4e "clocksource: arch_timer: use virtual counters" We need this on certain ARMv7 systems which are architected like this: * The firmware doesn't know and doesn't care about hypervisor mode and we don't want to add the complexity of hypervisor there. * The firmware isn't involved in SMP bringup or resume. * The ARCH timer come up with an uninitialized offset between the virtual and physical counters. Each core gets a different random offset. * The device boots in "Secure SVC" mode. * Nothing has touched the reset value of CNTHCTL.PL1PCEN or CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN (both default to 1 at reset) One example of such as system is RK3288 where it is much simpler to use the physical counter since there's nobody managing the offset and each time a core goes down and comes back up it will get reinitialized to some other random value.

Commit c387f07e (clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Discard unavailable timers correctly) changed the way the driver makes sure both the memory and system-register timers have been probed before finalizing the probing. There is a interesting flaw in this logic that leads to this final step never to be executed. Things seems to work pretty well until something actually needs the data that is produced during this final stage. For example, KVM explodes on the first run of a guest when executed on a platform that has both memory and sysreg nodes (Juno, for example). Just fix the damned logic, and enjoy booting VMs again. Tested on a Juno system.

The arch_timer_evtstrm_enable hooks in arm and arm64 are substantially similar, the only difference being a CONFIG_COMPAT-conditional section which is relevant only for arm64. Copy the arm64 version to the driver, removing the arch-specific hooks.
