The value written into the TPM CnV can only be updated into the hardware
when the counter increases. Additional writes to the CnV write buffer are
ignored until the register has been updated. Therefore, we need to check
if the CnV has been updated before continuing. This may require waiting for
1 counter cycle in the worst case.

<title>clocksource/drivers/imx-tpm: Fix return -ETIME when delta exceeds INT_MAX</title>

<id>5b8843fcd49827813da80c0f590a17ae4ce93c5d</id>
<content type='text'>
In tpm_set_next_event(delta), return -ETIME by wrong cast to int when delta
is larger than INT_MAX.

For example:

tpm_set_next_event(delta = 0xffff_fffe)
{
        ...
        next = tpm_read_counter(); // assume next is 0x10
        next += delta; // next will 0xffff_fffe + 0x10 = 0x1_0000_000e
        now = tpm_read_counter();  // now is 0x10
        ...

        return (int)(next - now) &lt;= 0 ? -ETIME : 0;
                     ^^^^^^^^^^
                     0x1_0000_000e - 0x10 = 0xffff_fffe, which is -2 when
                     cast to int. So return -ETIME.
}

To fix this, introduce a 'prev' variable and check if 'now - prev' is
larger than delta.

It appears the code is incorrect as reported by Uros Bizjak:

"The referred code is questionable as it tries to reuse
the clkevent pointer once as percpu pointer and once as generic

This change removes the percpu related code as no drivers is using it.

<title>of: remove internal arguments from of_property_for_each_u32()</title>
<updated>2024-07-25T11:53:47+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=9722c3b66e21ff08aec570d02a97d331087fd70f'/>
<id>9722c3b66e21ff08aec570d02a97d331087fd70f</id>
<content type='text'>
The of_property_for_each_u32() macro needs five parameters, two of which
are primarily meant as internal variables for the macro itself (in the
for() clause). Yet these two parameters are used by a few drivers, and this
can be considered misuse or at least bad practice.

Now that the kernel uses C11 to build, these two parameters can be avoided
by declaring them internally, thus changing this pattern:

  struct property *prop;
  const __be32 *p;
  u32 val;

  of_property_for_each_u32(np, "xyz", prop, p, val) { ... }

to this:

  u32 val;

  of_property_for_each_u32(np, "xyz", val) { ... }

However two variables cannot be declared in the for clause even with C11,
so declare one struct that contain the two variables we actually need. As
the variables inside this struct are not meant to be used by users of this
macro, give the struct instance the noticeable name "_it" so it is visible
during code reviews, helping to avoid new code to use it directly.

Most usages are trivially converted as they do not use those two
parameters, as expected. The non-trivial cases are:

 - drivers/clk/clk.c, of_clk_get_parent_name(): easily doable anyway
 - drivers/clk/clk-si5351.c, si5351_dt_parse(): this is more complex as the
   checks had to be replicated in a different way, making code more verbose
   and somewhat uglier, but I refrained from a full rework to keep as much
   of the original code untouched having no hardware to test my changes

All the changes have been build tested. The few for which I have the
hardware have been runtime-tested too.

The timer/counter block on the Realtek SoCs provides up to 5 timers. It
also includes a watchdog timer which is handled by the
realtek_otto_wdt.c driver.

One timer will be used per CPU as a local clock event generator. An
additional timer will be used as an overal stable clocksource.

Counter width of GIC is configurable and can be read from a
register.

Use width value from the register for sched_clock.

It is a good clocksource which usually go as fast as CPU core
and have a low access latency, so raise the base of rating
from Good to desired when we know that it has a stable frequency.

Increase frequency addend dividend to 10000000 (10MHz) to
reasonably accommodate multi GHz level clock, also cap rating
within current level.

<title>clocksource/drivers/sh_cmt: Address race condition for clock events</title>

There is a race condition in the CMT interrupt handler. In the interrupt
handler the driver sets a driver private flag, FLAG_IRQCONTEXT. This
flag is used to indicate any call to set_next_event() should not be
directly propagated to the device, but instead cached. This is done as
the interrupt handler itself reprograms the device when needed before it
completes and this avoids this operation to take place twice.

It is unclear why this design was chosen, my suspicion is to allow the
struct clock_event_device.event_handler callback, which is called while
the FLAG_IRQCONTEXT is set, can update the next event without having to
write to the device twice.

Unfortunately there is a race between when the FLAG_IRQCONTEXT flag is
set and later cleared where the interrupt handler have already started to
write the next event to the device. If set_next_event() is called in
this window the value is only cached in the driver but not written. This
leads to the board to misbehave, or worse lockup and produce a splat.

Close the race condition by using the CMT channel lock for the two
