> Subject: [RFC PATCH v6 0/7] Enable ptp_kvm for arm64
> 
> kvm ptp targets to provide high precision time sync between guest and host
> in virtualization environment. This patch enable kvm ptp for arm64.
> This patch set base on [1][2][3]
> 
> change log:
> from v5 to v6:
>         (1) apply Mark's patch[4] to get SMCCC conduit.
>         (2) add mechanism to recognize current clocksource by add
> clocksouce_id value into struct clocksource instead of method in patch-v5.
>         (3) rename kvm_arch_ptp_get_clock_fn into
> kvm_arch_ptp_get_crosststamp.
> 
> from v4 to v5:
>         (1) remove hvc delay compensasion as it should leave to userspace.
>         (2) check current clocksource in hvc call service.
>         (3) expose current clocksource by adding it to system_time_snapshot.
>         (4) add helper to check if clocksource is arm_arch_counter.
>         (5) rename kvm_ptp.c to ptp_kvm_common.c
> 
> from v3 to v4:
>         (1) fix clocksource of ptp_kvm to arch_sys_counter.
>         (2) move kvm_arch_ptp_get_clock_fn into arm_arch_timer.c
>         (3) subtract cntvoff before return cycles from host.
>         (4) use ktime_get_snapshot instead of getnstimeofday and
> get_current_counterval to return time and counter value.
>         (5) split ktime and counter into two 32-bit block respectively to avoid
> Y2038-safe issue.
>         (6) set time compensation to device time as half of the delay of hvc call.
>         (7) add ARM_ARCH_TIMER as dependency of ptp_kvm for arm64.
> 
> from v2 to v3:
>         (1) fix some issues in commit log.
>         (2) add some receivers in send list.
> 
> from v1 to v2:
>         (1) move arch-specific code from arch/ to driver/ptp/
>         (2) offer mechanism to inform userspace if ptp_kvm service is available.
>         (3) separate ptp_kvm code for arm64 into hypervisor part and guest part.
>         (4) add API to expose monotonic clock and counter value.
>         (5) refine code: remove no necessary part and reconsitution.
