linux.git/drivers/clocksource/timer-clint.c, branch v5.9-rc2 Linux kernel source tree clocksource/drivers: Add CLINT timer driver 2020-08-20T17:57:29+00:00 Anup Patel anup.patel@wdc.com 2020-08-17T12:42:49+00:00 2ac6795fcc085e8d03649f1bbd0d70aaff612cad We add a separate CLINT timer driver for Linux RISC-V M-mode (i.e. RISC-V NoMMU kernel). The CLINT MMIO device provides three things: 1. 64bit free running counter register 2. 64bit per-CPU time compare registers 3. 32bit per-CPU inter-processor interrupt registers Unlike other timer devices, CLINT provides IPI registers along with timer registers. To use CLINT IPI registers, the CLINT timer driver provides IPI related callbacks to arch/riscv.

We add a separate CLINT timer driver for Linux RISC-V M-mode (i.e.
RISC-V NoMMU kernel).

The CLINT MMIO device provides three things:
1. 64bit free running counter register
2. 64bit per-CPU time compare registers
3. 32bit per-CPU inter-processor interrupt registers

Unlike other timer devices, CLINT provides IPI registers along with
timer registers. To use CLINT IPI registers, the CLINT timer driver
provides IPI related callbacks to arch/riscv.
