[ Upstream commit a98399cbc1e05f7b977419f03905501d566cf54e ]

When a machine sports more than one SP804 timer instance, we only bring
up the first one, since multiple timers of the same kind are not useful
to Linux. As this is intentional behaviour, we should not return an
error message, as we do today:
===============
[    0.000800] Failed to initialize '/bus@8000000/motherboard-bus@8000000/iofpga-bus@300000000/timer@120000': -22
===============

Replace the -EINVAL return with a debug message and return 0 instead.

Also we do not reach the init function anymore if the DT node is
disabled (as this is now handled by OF_DECLARE), so remove the explicit
check for that case.

This fixes a long standing bogus error when booting ARM's fastmodels.

[ Upstream commit 6a861abceecb68497dd82a324fee45a5332dcece ]

__setup() handlers should return 1 to obsolete_checksetup() in
init/main.c to indicate that the boot option has been handled.
A return of 0 causes the boot option/value to be listed as an Unknown
kernel parameter and added to init's (limited) environment strings.

The __setup() handler interface isn't meant to handle negative return
values -- they are non-zero, so they mean "handled" (like a return
value of 1 does), but that's just a quirk. So return 1 from
parse_pmtmr(). Also print a warning message if kstrtouint() returns
an error.

commit 95b861a4a6d94f64d5242605569218160ebacdbe upstream.

When running on Cortex-A76, a timer access from an AArch32 EL0
task may end up with a corrupted value or register. The workaround for
this is to trap these accesses at EL1/EL2 and execute them there.

This only affects versions r0p0, r1p0 and r2p0 of the CPU.

Should we ever have a workaround for an erratum that is detected using
a capability and affecting a particular CPU, it'd be nice to have
a way to probe them directly.

commit 651bb2e9dca6e6dbad3fba5f6e6086a23575b8b5 upstream.

We're currently stuck with DT when it comes to handling errata, which
is pretty restrictive. In order to make things more flexible, let's
introduce an infrastructure that could support alternative discovery
methods. No change in functionality.

commit 16d10ef29f25aba923779234bb93a451b14d20e6 upstream.

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.

commit 5444ea6a7f46276876e94ecf8d44615af1ef22f7 upstream.

Having a command line option to flip the errata handling for a
particular erratum is a little bit unusual, and it's vastly superior to
pass this in the DT. By common consensus, it's best to kill off the
command line parameter.

[ Upstream commit 8b7770b877d187bfdae1eaf587bd2b792479a31c ]

ARM virtual counter supports event stream, it can only trigger an event
when the trigger bit (the value of CNTKCTL_EL1.EVNTI) of CNTVCT_EL0 changes,
so the actual period of event stream is 2^(cntkctl_evnti + 1). For example,
when the trigger bit is 0, then virtual counter trigger an event for every
two cycles.

While we're at it, rework the way we compute the trigger bit position
by making it more obvious that when bits [n:n-1] are both set (with n
being the most significant bit), we pick bit (n + 1).

Fixes: 037f637767a8 ("drivers: clocksource: add support for ARM architected timer event stream")
