ARM timekeeping functionality allows to register persistent/boot clock dynamically.
This code is arch-independent and can be useful on other plaforms as well.
As a byproduct of this change, tegra20_timer becomes ARM64 compatible.
Tested: backported the change to chromeos-3.14 kernel ran on tegra 64bit
board, made sure high-resolution clock works.
Using this on an upstream kernel doesn't work, though, because 64-bit
ARM doesn't implement struct delay_timer which the driver needs since
v3.17.
But I suppose the delay timer infrastructure could be moved into the
core similar to the persistent and boot clock as this patch does.
Thanks. It makes sense, I will send it in a separate patch, once this
one will be reviewed. On our kernel I haven't seen this issue as we
still use 3.14.
That's why you should test/compile your stuff on latest greatest and
not on a year old conglomorate of unknown provenance. :)
Unfortunately it is not possible to test this patch with upstream.
There is no ARM64 bit support for Tegra yet. I am trying to
cleanup/upstream my ChromeOS patches and this clock patch in
particular makes one small step towards this goal. Also Thierry
mentioned that he works on full ARM64 Tegra support and it is really
exciting!
Everything is exciting, but it does not change the fact, that this
patch cannot work on current upstream.
Could you please be more specific what exactly does not work? Are you
talking about delay timer? But my patch does not touch any delay timer
code. I can compile tegra_timer for ARM. And this code is not usable
on arm64 anyway because whole Tegra is not ported yet. Somebody should
make additional changes to upstream tegra20_timer.c code. I might try
to do it later when Tegra will be ported.
So what I suppose to do with my patch? If it does not work could
anyone provide patch that removes ARM arch dependency from
tegra20_timer.c?
Huch? You want other people to solve your problems?
This is not the point. I provided patch that fixes the issue. Other
people said that they have ideas how to do it different (and better)
way. So I am asking to share these ideas represented as a patch.
I think your issue is solved [1] ... for the moment.
Thanks
