kvm ptp targets to provide high precision time sync between guest
and host in virtualization environment. Here, we enable kvm ptp
for arm64.
This patch set base on [1][2][3]
change log:
from v8 to v9:
(1) move ptp_kvm.h to driver/ptp/
(2) replace license declaration of ptp_kvm.h the same with other
header files in the same directory.
from v7 to v8:
(1) separate adding clocksource id for arm_arch_counter as a
single patch.
(2) update commit message for patch 4/8.
(3) refine patch 7/8 and patch 8/8 to make them more independent.
from v6 to v7:
(1) include the omitted clocksource_id.h in last version.
(2) reorder the header file in patch.
(3) refine some words in commit message to make it more impersonal.
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.
