[ Upstream commit 37e7742c55ba856eaec7e35673ee370f36eb17f3 ]

The driver seems to abuse *unsigned long* not only for the (32-bit)
register values but also for the 'sh_cmt_channel::total_cycles' which
needs to always be 64-bit -- as a result, the clocksource's mask is
needlessly clamped down to 32-bits on the 32-bit machines...

[ Upstream commit 22627c6f3ed3d9d0df13eec3c831b08f8186c38e ]

When trying to use CMT for clockevents on R-Car gen3 SoCs, I noticed
that 'max_delta_ns' for the broadcast timer (CMT) was shown as 1000 in
/proc/timer_list. It turned out that when calculating it, the driver did
1 &lt;&lt; 32 (causing what I think was undefined behavior) resulting in a zero
delta, later clamped to 1000 by cev_delta2ns(). The root cause turned out
to be that the driver abused *unsigned long* for the CMT register values
(which are 16/32-bit), so that the calculation of 'ch-&gt;max_match_value'
in sh_cmt_setup_channel() used the wrong branch. Using more proper 'u32'
instead fixed 'max_delta_ns' and even fixed the switching an active
clocksource to CMT (which caused the system to turn non-interactive
before).

[ Upstream commit 6282edb72bed5324352522d732080d4c1b9dfed6 ]

Exynos SoCs based on CA7/CA15 have 2 timer interfaces: custom Exynos MCT
(Multi Core Timer) and standard ARM Architected Timers.

There are use cases, where both timer interfaces are used simultanously.
One of such examples is using Exynos MCT for the main system timer and
ARM Architected Timers for the KVM and virtualized guests (KVM requires
arch timers).

Exynos Multi-Core Timer driver (exynos_mct) must be however started
before ARM Architected Timers (arch_timer), because they both share some
common hardware blocks (global system counter) and turning on MCT is
needed to get ARM Architected Timer working properly.

To ensure selecting Exynos MCT as the main system timer, increase MCT
timer rating. To ensure proper starting order of both timers during
suspend/resume cycle, increase MCT hotplug priority over ARM Archictected
Timers.

<title>clocksource/drivers/arch_timer: Workaround for Allwinner A64 timer instability</title>

<id>e19ca3fe6cf230a0e5df70da7acade133f2b670c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c950ca8c35eeb32224a63adc47e12f9e226da241 upstream.

The Allwinner A64 SoC is known[1] to have an unstable architectural
timer, which manifests itself most obviously in the time jumping forward
a multiple of 95 years[2][3]. This coincides with 2^56 cycles at a
timer frequency of 24 MHz, implying that the time went slightly backward
(and this was interpreted by the kernel as it jumping forward and
wrapping around past the epoch).

Investigation revealed instability in the low bits of CNTVCT at the
point a high bit rolls over. This leads to power-of-two cycle forward
and backward jumps. (Testing shows that forward jumps are about twice as
likely as backward jumps.) Since the counter value returns to normal
after an indeterminate read, each "jump" really consists of both a
forward and backward jump from the software perspective.

Unless the kernel is trapping CNTVCT reads, a userspace program is able
to read the register in a loop faster than it changes. A test program
running on all 4 CPU cores that reported jumps larger than 100 ms was
run for 13.6 hours and reported the following:

 Count | Event
-------+---------------------------
  9940 | jumped backward      699ms
   268 | jumped backward     1398ms
     1 | jumped backward     2097ms
 16020 | jumped forward       175ms
  6443 | jumped forward       699ms
  2976 | jumped forward      1398ms
     9 | jumped forward    356516ms
     9 | jumped forward    357215ms
     4 | jumped forward    714430ms
     1 | jumped forward   3578440ms

This works out to a jump larger than 100 ms about every 5.5 seconds on
each CPU core.

The largest jump (almost an hour!) was the following sequence of reads:
    0x0000007fffffffff → 0x00000093feffffff → 0x0000008000000000

Note that the middle bits don't necessarily all read as all zeroes or
all ones during the anomalous behavior; however the low 10 bits checked
by the function in this patch have never been observed with any other
value.

Also note that smaller jumps are much more common, with backward jumps
of 2048 (2^11) cycles observed over 400 times per second on each core.
(Of course, this is partially explained by lower bits rolling over more
frequently.) Any one of these could have caused the 95 year time skip.

Similar anomalies were observed while reading CNTPCT (after patching the
kernel to allow reads from userspace). However, the CNTPCT jumps are
much less frequent, and only small jumps were observed. The same program
as before (except now reading CNTPCT) observed after 72 hours:

 Count | Event
-------+---------------------------
    17 | jumped backward      699ms
    52 | jumped forward       175ms
  2831 | jumped forward       699ms
     5 | jumped forward      1398ms

Further investigation showed that the instability in CNTPCT/CNTVCT also
affected the respective timer's TVAL register. The following values were
observed immediately after writing CNVT_TVAL to 0x10000000:

 CNTVCT             | CNTV_TVAL  | CNTV_CVAL          | CNTV_TVAL Error
--------------------+------------+--------------------+-----------------
 0x000000d4a2d8bfff | 0x10003fff | 0x000000d4b2d8bfff | +0x00004000
 0x000000d4a2d94000 | 0x0fffffff | 0x000000d4b2d97fff | -0x00004000
 0x000000d4a2d97fff | 0x10003fff | 0x000000d4b2d97fff | +0x00004000
 0x000000d4a2d9c000 | 0x0fffffff | 0x000000d4b2d9ffff | -0x00004000

The pattern of errors in CNTV_TVAL seemed to depend on exactly which
value was written to it. For example, after writing 0x10101010:

 CNTVCT             | CNTV_TVAL  | CNTV_CVAL          | CNTV_TVAL Error
--------------------+------------+--------------------+-----------------
 0x000001ac3effffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac4f10100f | +0x1000000
 0x000001ac40000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac5110100f | -0x1000000
 0x000001ac58ffffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac6910100f | +0x1000000
 0x000001ac66000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac7710100f | -0x1000000
 0x000001ac6affffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac7b10100f | +0x1000000
 0x000001ac6e000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac7f10100f | -0x1000000

I was also twice able to reproduce the issue covered by Allwinner's
workaround[4], that writing to TVAL sometimes fails, and both CVAL and
TVAL are left with entirely bogus values. One was the following values:

 CNTVCT             | CNTV_TVAL  | CNTV_CVAL
--------------------+------------+--------------------------------------
 0x000000d4a2d6014c | 0x8fbd5721 | 0x000000d132935fff (615s in the past)
Reviewed-by: Marc Zyngier &lt;marc.zyngier@arm.com&gt;

========================================================================

Because the CPU can read the CNTPCT/CNTVCT registers faster than they
change, performing two reads of the register and comparing the high bits
(like other workarounds) is not a workable solution. And because the
timer can jump both forward and backward, no pair of reads can
distinguish a good value from a bad one. The only way to guarantee a
good value from consecutive reads would be to read _three_ times, and
take the middle value only if the three values are 1) each unique and
2) increasing. This takes at minimum 3 counter cycles (125 ns), or more
if an anomaly is detected.

However, since there is a distinct pattern to the bad values, we can
optimize the common case (1022/1024 of the time) to a single read by
simply ignoring values that match the error pattern. This still takes no
more than 3 cycles in the worst case, and requires much less code. As an
additional safety check, we still limit the loop iteration to the number
of max-frequency (1.2 GHz) CPU cycles in three 24 MHz counter periods.

For the TVAL registers, the simple solution is to not use them. Instead,
read or write the CVAL and calculate the TVAL value in software.

Although the manufacturer is aware of at least part of the erratum[4],
there is no official name for it. For now, use the kernel-internal name
"UNKNOWN1".

(Of course, this is partially explained by lower bits rolling over more
frequently.) Any one of these could have caused the 95 year time skip.

Similar anomalies were observed while reading CNTPCT (after patching the
kernel to allow reads from userspace). However, the CNTPCT jumps are
much less frequent, and only small jumps were observed. The same program
as before (except now reading CNTPCT) observed after 72 hours:

 Count | Event
-------+---------------------------
    17 | jumped backward      699ms
    52 | jumped forward       175ms
  2831 | jumped forward       699ms
     5 | jumped forward      1398ms

Further investigation showed that the instability in CNTPCT/CNTVCT also
affected the respective timer's TVAL register. The following values were
observed immediately after writing CNVT_TVAL to 0x10000000:

 CNTVCT             | CNTV_TVAL  | CNTV_CVAL          | CNTV_TVAL Error
--------------------+------------+--------------------+-----------------
 0x000000d4a2d8bfff | 0x10003fff | 0x000000d4b2d8bfff | +0x00004000
 0x000000d4a2d94000 | 0x0fffffff | 0x000000d4b2d97fff | -0x00004000
 0x000000d4a2d97fff | 0x10003fff | 0x000000d4b2d97fff | +0x00004000
 0x000000d4a2d9c000 | 0x0fffffff | 0x000000d4b2d9ffff | -0x00004000

The pattern of errors in CNTV_TVAL seemed to depend on exactly which
value was written to it. For example, after writing 0x10101010:

 CNTVCT             | CNTV_TVAL  | CNTV_CVAL          | CNTV_TVAL Error
--------------------+------------+--------------------+-----------------
 0x000001ac3effffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac4f10100f | +0x1000000
 0x000001ac40000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac5110100f | -0x1000000
 0x000001ac58ffffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac6910100f | +0x1000000
 0x000001ac66000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac7710100f | -0x1000000
 0x000001ac6affffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac7b10100f | +0x1000000
 0x000001ac6e000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac7f10100f | -0x1000000

I was also twice able to reproduce the issue covered by Allwinner's
workaround[4], that writing to TVAL sometimes fails, and both CVAL and
TVAL are left with entirely bogus values. One was the following values:

 CNTVCT             | CNTV_TVAL  | CNTV_CVAL
--------------------+------------+--------------------------------------
 0x000000d4a2d6014c | 0x8fbd5721 | 0x000000d132935fff (615s in the past)

========================================================================

Because the CPU can read the CNTPCT/CNTVCT registers faster than they
change, performing two reads of the register and comparing the high bits
(like other workarounds) is not a workable solution. And because the
timer can jump both forward and backward, no pair of reads can
distinguish a good value from a bad one. The only way to guarantee a
good value from consecutive reads would be to read _three_ times, and
take the middle value only if the three values are 1) each unique and
2) increasing. This takes at minimum 3 counter cycles (125 ns), or more
if an anomaly is detected.

However, since there is a distinct pattern to the bad values, we can
optimize the common case (1022/1024 of the time) to a single read by
simply ignoring values that match the error pattern. This still takes no
more than 3 cycles in the worst case, and requires much less code. As an
additional safety check, we still limit the loop iteration to the number
of max-frequency (1.2 GHz) CPU cycles in three 24 MHz counter periods.

For the TVAL registers, the simple solution is to not use them. Instead,
read or write the CVAL and calculate the TVAL value in software.

Although the manufacturer is aware of at least part of the erratum[4],
there is no official name for it. For now, use the kernel-internal name
"UNKNOWN1".

commit d2f276c8d3c224d5b493c42b6cf006ae4e64fb1c upstream.

When shutting down the timer, ensure that after we have stopped the
timer any pending interrupts are cleared. This fixes a problem when
suspending, as interrupts are disabled before the timer is stopped,
so the timer interrupt may still be asserted, preventing the system
entering a low power state when the wfi is executed.

commit a5719a40aef956ba704f2aa1c7b977224d60fa96 upstream.

When a timer tick occurs and the clock is in one-shot mode, the timer
needs to be stopped to prevent it triggering subsequent interrupts.
Currently this code is in exynos4_mct_tick_clear(), but as it is
only needed when an ISR occurs move it into exynos4_mct_tick_isr(),
leaving exynos4_mct_tick_clear() just doing what its name suggests it
should.

[ Upstream commit 983a5a43ec254cd5ddf3254db80ca96e8f8bb2a4 ]

Commit 84badc5ec5fc ("ARM: dts: omap4: Move l4 child devices to probe
them with ti-sysc") moved some omap4 timers to probe with ti-sysc
interconnect target module. Turns out this broke pwm-omap-dmtimer
where we now try to reparent the clock to itself with the following:

omap_dm_timer_of_set_source: failed to set parent

With ti-sysc, we can now configure the clock sources in the dts
with assigned-clocks and assigned-clock-parents. So we should be able
to remove omap_dm_timer_of_set_source with clean-up patches later on.
But for now, let's just fix it first by checking if parent and fck
are the same and bail out of so.

[ Upstream commit 5eb73c831171115d3b4347e1e7124a5a35d8086c ]

The function of_find_node_by_path() acquires a reference to the node
returned by it and that reference needs to be dropped by its caller.

integrator_ap_timer_init_of() doesn't do that.  The pri_node and the
sec_node are used as an identifier to compare against the current
node, so we can directly drop the refcount after getting the node from
the path as it is not used as pointer.

By dropping the refcount right after getting it, a single variable is
needed instead of two.

Fix this by use a single variable and drop the refcount right after
of_find_node_by_path().
