clocksource/drivers/sun4i: Clear interrupts after stopping timer in probe function

2016-09-24T08:09:23Z

commit b53e7d000d9e6e9fd2c6eb6b82d2783c67fd599e upstream. The bootloader (U-boot) sometimes uses this timer for various delays. It uses it as a ongoing counter, and does comparisons on the current counter value. The timer counter is never stopped. In some cases when the user interacts with the bootloader, or lets it idle for some time before loading Linux, the timer may expire, and an interrupt will be pending. This results in an unexpected interrupt when the timer interrupt is enabled by the kernel, at which point the event_handler isn't set yet. This results in a NULL pointer dereference exception, panic, and no way to reboot. Clear any pending interrupts after we stop the timer in the probe function to avoid this.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "Small release overall. x86: - miscellaneous fixes - AVIC support (local APIC virtualization, AMD version) s390: - polling for interrupts after a VCPU goes to halted state is now enabled for s390 - use hardware provided information about facility bits that do not need any hypervisor activity, and other fixes for cpu models and facilities - improve perf output - floating interrupt controller improvements. MIPS: - miscellaneous fixes PPC: - bugfixes only ARM: - 16K page size support - generic firmware probing layer for timer and GIC Christoffer Dall (KVM-ARM maintainer) says: "There are a few changes in this pull request touching things outside KVM, but they should all carry the necessary acks and it made the merge process much easier to do it this way." though actually the irqchip maintainers' acks didn't make it into the patches.

Pull ARC updates from Vineet Gupta: "We have a relatively big changeset for ARC for 4.7. The highlight is support for EZChip (now Mellanox) NPS-400 network processor, a 400-Gb throughput C-programmable packet processor based on ARC700 cores from Synopsys. See http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/prod_npu/PB_NPS-400.pdf Also present are irqchip and clocksource drivers for NPS as agreed with respective maintainers to go via ARC tree due to an soc header dependency. I have the needed ACKs from Jason, Marc, Daniel. You might run into a trivial merge conflict in drivers/irqchip/* This EZChip platform support required some deep changes in ARC architecture code and also opportunity to cleanup past sins (legacy irq domains, missing irq domain lookup, hard coded timer irqs...)

Add internal tick generator which is shared by all cores. Each cluster of cores view it through dedicated address. This is used for SMP system where all CPUs synced by same clock source.

clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Extend arch_timer_kvm_info to get the virtual IRQ

2016-05-03T10:54:21Z

Currently, the firmware table is parsed by the virtual timer code in order to retrieve the virtual timer interrupt. However, this is already done by the arch timer driver. To avoid code duplication, extend arch_timer_kvm_info to get the virtual IRQ. Note that the KVM code will be modified in a subsequent patch.

Introduce a structure which are filled up by the arch timer driver and used by the virtual timer in KVM. The first member of this structure will be the timecounter. More members will be added later. A stub for the new helper isn't introduced because KVM requires the arch timer for both ARM64 and ARM32. The function arch_timer_get_timecounter is kept for the time being and will be dropped in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Julien Grall Acked-by: Christoffer Dall Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall
