commit 164805157f3c6834670afbaff563353c773131f1 upstream.

Commit 6cfcd5563b4f ("clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Fix suspend and
resume for am3 and am4") exposed a new issue for type2 dual mode timers
on at least omap5 where the clockevent will stop when the SoC starts
entering idle states during the boot.

Turns out we are wrongly first enabling the system timer and then
resetting it, while we must also re-enable it after reset. The current
sequence leaves the timer module in a partially initialized state. This
issue went unnoticed earlier with ti-sysc driver reconfiguring the timer
module until we fixed the issue of ti-sysc reconfiguring system timers.

Let's fix the issue by calling dmtimer_systimer_enable() from reset for
both type1 and type2 timers, and switch the order of reset and enable in
dmtimer_systimer_setup(). Let's also move dmtimer_systimer_enable() and
dmtimer_systimer_disable() to do this without adding forward declarations.

[ Upstream commit 400d033f5a599120089b5f0c54d14d198499af5a ]

In the init function, if the call to of_iomap() fails, the return
value is ENXIO instead of -ENXIO.

Change to the right negative errno.

Carlos Hernandez &lt;ceh@ti.com&gt; reported that we now have a suspend and
resume regresssion on am3 and am4 compared to the earlier kernels. While
suspend and resume works with v5.8-rc3, we now get errors with rtcwake:

pm33xx pm33xx: PM: Could not transition all powerdomains to target state
...
rtcwake: write error

This is because we now fail to idle the system timer clocks that the
idle code checks and the error gets propagated to the rtcwake.

Turns out there are several issues that need to be fixed:

1. Ignore no-idle and no-reset configured timers for the ti-sysc
   interconnect target driver as otherwise it will keep the system timer
   clocks enabled

2. Toggle the system timer functional clock for suspend for am3 and am4
   (but not for clocksource on am3)

3. Only reconfigure type1 timers in dmtimer_systimer_disable()

4. Use of_machine_is_compatible() instead of of_device_is_compatible()
   for checking the SoC type

ARM64_WORKAROUND_1418040 requires that AArch32 EL0 accesses to
the virtual counter register are trapped and emulated by the kernel.
This makes the vdso pretty pointless, and in some cases livelock
prone.

Provide a workaround entry that limits the vdso to 64bit tasks.

The commit 4f41fe386a94 ("clocksource/drivers/timer-probe: Avoid
creating dead devices") broke the handling of arm,vexpress-sysreg [1].

The arm,vexpress-sysreg device is handled by both timer-versatile.c and
drivers/mfd/vexpress-sysreg.c. While the timer driver doesn't use the
device, the mfd driver still needs a device to probe.

So, this patch clears the OF_POPULATED flag to continue creating the
device.

<title>clocksource: mips-gic-timer: Mark GIC timer as unstable if ref clock changes</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently clocksource framework doesn't support the clocks with variable
frequency. Since MIPS GIC timer ticks rate might be unstable on some
platforms, we must make sure that it justifies the clocksource
requirements. MIPS GIC timer is incremented with the CPU cluster reference
clocks rate. So in case if CPU frequency changes, the MIPS GIC tick rate
changes synchronously. Due to this the clocksource subsystem can't rely on
the timer to measure system clocks anymore. This commit marks the MIPS GIC
based clocksource as unstable if reference clock (normally it's a CPU
reference clocks) rate changes. The clocksource will execute a watchdog
thread, which lowers the MIPS GIC timer rating to zero and fallbacks to a
new stable one.

Note we don't need to set the CLOCK_SOURCE_MUST_VERIFY flag to the MIPS
GIC clocksource since normally the timer is stable. The only reason why
it gets unstable is due to the ref clock rate change, which event we
detect here in the driver by means of the clocks event notifier.

The MIPS GIC timer is well suited for use as sched_clock, so register it
as such.

Whilst the existing gic_read_count() function matches the prototype
needed by sched_clock_register() already, we split it into 2 functions
in order to remove the need to evaluate the mips_cm_is64 condition
within each call since sched_clock should be as fast as possible.

Note the sched clock framework needs the clock source being stable in
order to rely on it. So we register the MIPS GIC timer as schedule clocks
only if it's, if either the system doesn't have CPU-frequency enabled or
the CPU frequency is changed by means of the CPC core clock divider
available on the platforms with CM3 or newer.
