[PATCH v2] ARM: virt: Relax arch timer version check during early boot

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Updates to the Generic Timer architecture allow ID_PFR1.GenTimer to
have values other than 0 or 1 while still preserving backward
compatibility. At the moment, Linux is quite strict in the way it
handles this field at early boot and will not configure arch timer if
it doesn't find the value 1.

Since here use ubfx for arch timer version extraction (hyb-stub build
with -march=armv7-a, so it is safe)

To help backports (even though the code was correct at the time of writing)
Fixes: 8ec58be9f3ff ("ARM: virt: arch_timers: enable access to physical timers")

Changelog:

    v1 -> v2
       - Clarify that backward compatibility is preserved (per Marc)
