powerpc/time: Expose boot_tb via accessor

2025-09-22T09:18:56+00:00

- Define accessor function get_boot_tb() to safely return boot_tb value,
  this is only needed when running in SPLPAR environments, so the
  accessor is built conditionally under CONFIG_PPC_SPLPAR.

- Tag boot_tb as __ro_after_init since it is written once at initialized
  and never updated afterwards.

Move it above its only caller which is time_init() and define it
static and __init.

powerpc/vdso: Switch to generic storage implementation

2025-02-21T08:54:02+00:00

The generic storage implementation provides the same features as the
custom one. However it can be shared between architectures, making
maintenance easier.

powerpc: Split systemcfg struct definitions out from vdso

The systemcfg data has nothing to do anymore with the vdso.
Split it into a dedicated header file.

powerpc: Split systemcfg data out of vdso data page

2024-11-02T11:37:36+00:00

The systemcfg data only has minimal overlap with the vdso data.
Splitting the two avoids mapping the implementation-defined vdso data
into /proc/ppc64/systemcfg.
It is also a preparation for the standardization of vdso data storage.

The only field actually used by both systemcfg and vdso is
tb_ticks_per_sec and it is only changed once during time_init().
Initialize it in both structures there.

powerpc/vdso: Remove timekeeper includes

2024-10-15T15:50:29+00:00

Since the generic VDSO clock mode storage is used, this header file is
unused and can be removed.

This avoids including a non-VDSO header while building the VDSO,
which can lead to compilation errors.

Also drop the comment which is out of date and in the wrong place.

sched/vtime: Get rid of generic vtime_task_switch() implementation

2024-04-17T11:37:20+00:00

The generic vtime_task_switch() implementation gets built only
if __ARCH_HAS_VTIME_TASK_SWITCH is not defined, but requires an
architecture to implement arch_vtime_task_switch() callback at
the same time, which is confusing.

Further, arch_vtime_task_switch() is implemented for 32-bit PowerPC
architecture only and vtime_task_switch() generic variant is rather
superfluous.

Simplify the whole vtime_task_switch() wiring by moving the existing
generic implementation to PowerPC.

powerpc: Make generic_calibrate_decr() the default

2023-03-15T21:56:48+00:00

ppc_md.calibrate_decr() is a mandatory item. Its nullity is never
checked so it must be non null on all platforms.

Most platforms define generic_calibrate_decr() as their
ppc_md.calibrate_decr(). Have time_init() call
generic_calibrate_decr() when ppc_md.calibrate_decr() is NULL,
and remove default assignment from all machines.
