<content type='text'>
The CMT do a housekeeping such as dealing with runtime PM and
enable/disable clocks when either a clock source is enabled, or when a
new clock event is registered.

Doing this type of housekeeping for when a clock event is registered is
not always possible as it can happen in contexts where holding spinlocks
is not possible. However doing it when registering a clock source is
possible.

As a first step to address this design break apart the CMT start and
stop functions. The path for clock sources need not change, while the
one for clock events need to be reworked in future work.

There is no indented functional change, just breaking the two use-cases
controlled by a flag into two distinct functions.

<id>urn:sha1:db19d3aa77612983a02bd223b3f273f896b243cf</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a race condition in the CMT interrupt handler. In the interrupt
handler the driver sets a driver private flag, FLAG_IRQCONTEXT. This
flag is used to indicate any call to set_next_event() should not be
directly propagated to the device, but instead cached. This is done as
the interrupt handler itself reprograms the device when needed before it
completes and this avoids this operation to take place twice.

It is unclear why this design was chosen, my suspicion is to allow the
struct clock_event_device.event_handler callback, which is called while
the FLAG_IRQCONTEXT is set, can update the next event without having to
write to the device twice.

Unfortunately there is a race between when the FLAG_IRQCONTEXT flag is
set and later cleared where the interrupt handler have already started to
write the next event to the device. If set_next_event() is called in
this window the value is only cached in the driver but not written. This
leads to the board to misbehave, or worse lockup and produce a splat.

The design have been part of the driver since it was first merged in
early 2009. It becomes increasingly harder to trigger the issue the
older kernel version one tries. It only takes a few boots on v6.10-rc5,
while hundreds of boots are needed to trigger it on v5.10.

Close the race condition by using the CMT channel lock for the two
competing sections. The channel lock was added to the driver after its
initial design.

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it was merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

<content type='text'>
Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.

So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

The comment in the remove callback suggests that the driver is not
supposed to be unbound. However returning an error code in the remove
callback doesn't accomplish that. Instead set the suppress_bind_attrs
property (which makes it impossible to unbind the driver via sysfs).
The only remaining way to unbind a sh_cmt device would be module
unloading, but that doesn't apply here, as the driver cannot be built as
a module.

Also drop the useless remove callback.

<content type='text'>
Documentation for most CMTs say that it takes two input clocks before
changes propagate to the timer. This is especially relevant when the timer
is stopped to change further settings.

Implement the delays according to the spec. To avoid unnecessary delays in
atomic mode, also check if the to-be-written value actually differs.

CMCNT is a bit special because testing showed that it requires 3 cycles to
propagate, which affects all CMTs. Also, the WRFLAG needs to be checked
before writing. This fixes "cannot clear CMCNT" messages which occur often
on R-Car Gen4 SoCs, but only very rarely on older SoCs for some reason.

<content type='text'>
If CMT instance has at least two channels, one channel will be used
as a clock source and another one used as a clock event device.
In that case, IRQ is not requested for clock source channel so
sh_cmt_clock_event_program_verify() might work incorrectly.
Besides, when a channel is only used for clock source, don't need to
re-set the next match_value since it should be maximum timeout as
it still is.

On the other hand, due to no IRQ, total_cycles is not counted up
when reaches compare match time (timer counter resets to zero),
so sh_cmt_clocksource_read() returns unexpected value.
Therefore, use 64-bit clocksoure's mask for 32-bit or 16-bit variants
will also lead to wrong delta calculation. Hence, this mask should
correspond to timer counter width, and above function just returns
the raw value of timer counter register.

<title>clocksource/drivers/sh_cmt: Make sure channel clock supply is enabled</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2a97d55333e4299f32c98cca6dc5c4db1c5855fc</id>
<content type='text'>
The Renesas Compare Match Timer 0 and 1 (CMT0/1) variants have a
register to control the clock supply to the individual channels.
Currently the driver does not touch this register, and relies on the
documented initial value, which has the clock supply enabled for all
channels present.

However, when Linux starts on the APE6-EVM development board, only the
clock supply to the first CMT1 channel is enabled.  Hence the first
channel (used as a clockevent) works, while the second channel (used as
a clocksource) does not.  Note that the default system clocksource is
the Cortex-A15 architectured timer, and the user needs to manually
switch to the CMT1 clocksource to trigger the broken behavior.

Fix this by removing the fragile dependency on implicit reset and/or
boot loader state, and by enabling the clock supply explicitly for all
channels used instead.  This requires postponing the clk_disable() call,
else the timer's registers cannot be accessed in sh_cmt_setup_channel().
