From: Serge Semin <Sergey.Semin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit cee43dbf2ee3f430434e2b66994eff8a1aeda889 ] Currently the DW APB Timer driver binds each clockevent timers to a particular CPU. This isn't good for multiple reasons. First of all seeing the device is placed on APB bus (which makes it accessible from any CPU core), accessible over MMIO and having the DYNIRQ flag set we can be sure that manually binding the timer to any CPU just isn't correct. By doing so we just set an extra limitation on device usage. This also doesn't reflect the device actual capability, since by setting the IRQ affinity we can make it virtually local to any CPU. Secondly imagine if you had a real CPU-local timer with the same rating and the same CPU-affinity. In this case if DW APB timer was registered first, then due to the clockevent framework tick-timer selection procedure we'll end up with the real CPU-local timer being left unselected for clock-events tracking. But on most of the platforms (MIPS/ARM/etc) such timers are normally embedded into the CPU core and are accessible with much better performance then devices placed on APB. For instance in MIPS architectures there is r4k-timer, which is CPU-local, assigned with the same rating, and normally its clockevent device is registered after the platform-specific one. So in order to fix all of these issues let's make the DW APB Timer CPU affinity being optional and deactivated by passing a negative CPU id, which will effectively set the DW APB clockevent timer cpumask to 'cpu_possible_mask'.
