clocksource/drivers/arc_timer: Utilize generic sched_clock

2019-01-09T16:45:55+00:00

commit bf287607c80f24387fedb431a346dc67f25be12c upstream.

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:
------------------------------>8------------------------
$ perf stat /bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello > /dev/null

 Performance counter stats for '/bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello':

         10.000000      task-clock (msec)         #    2.832 CPUs utilized
                 1      context-switches          #    0.100 K/sec

Note how much more meaningful is the second output - time spent for
execution pretty much matches number of cycles spent (we're runnign
@ 1GHz here).

ARC: io.h: Implement reads{x}()/writes{x}()

2018-11-30T19:26:29+00:00

Some ARC CPU's do not support unaligned loads/stores. Currently, generic
implementation of reads{b/w/l}()/writes{b/w/l}() is being used with ARC.
This can lead to misfunction of some drivers as generic functions do a
plain dereference of a pointer that can be unaligned.

Let's use {get/put}_unaligned() helpers instead of plain dereference of
pointer in order to fix. The helpers allow to get and store data from an
unaligned address whilst preserving the CPU internal alignment.
According to [1], the use of these helpers are costly in terms of
performance so we added an initial check for a buffer already aligned so
that the usage of the helpers can be avoided, when possible.

ARC: change defconfig defaults to ARCv2

2018-11-30T18:54:01+00:00

Change the default defconfig (used with 'make defconfig') to the ARCv2
nsim_hs_defconfig, and also switch the default Kconfig ISA selection to
ARCv2.

This allows several default defconfigs (e.g. make defconfig, make
allnoconfig, make tinyconfig) to all work with ARCv2 by default.

Note since we change default architecture from ARCompact to ARCv2
it's required to explicitly mention architecture type in ARCompact
defconfigs otherwise ARCv2 will be implied and binaries will be
generated for ARCv2.

arc: [devboards] Add support of NFSv3 ACL

2018-11-21T19:26:01+00:00

By default NFSv3 doesn't support ACL (Access Control Lists)
which might be quite convenient to have so that
mounted NFS behaves exactly as any other local file-system.

In particular missing support of ACL makes umask useless.
This among other thigs fixes Glibc's "nptl/tst-umask1".

ARC: IOC: panic if kernel was started with previously enabled IOC

2018-11-12T18:38:27+00:00

If IOC was already enabled (due to bootloader) it technically needs to
be reconfigured with aperture base,size corresponding to Linux memory map
which will certainly be different than uboot's. But disabling and
reenabling IOC when DMA might be potentially active is tricky business.
To avoid random memory issues later, just panic here and ask user to
upgrade bootloader to one which doesn't enable IOC

This was actually seen as issue on some of the HSDK board with a version
of uboot which enabled IOC. There were random issues later with starting
of X or peripherals etc.

Also while I'm at it, replace hardcoded bits in ARC_REG_IO_COH_PARTIAL
and ARC_REG_IO_COH_ENABLE registers by definitions.

ARC: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig

2018-11-12T18:38:27+00:00

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.

Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:

    ...
    One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
    the following two definitions behave exactly the same:

        config FOO
                bool

        config FOO
                bool
                default n

    With this change, neither of these will generate a
    '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
    That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
    redundant.
