[ Upstream commit 5eb73c831171115d3b4347e1e7124a5a35d8086c ]

The function of_find_node_by_path() acquires a reference to the node
returned by it and that reference needs to be dropped by its caller.

integrator_ap_timer_init_of() doesn't do that.  The pri_node and the
sec_node are used as an identifier to compare against the current
node, so we can directly drop the refcount after getting the node from
the path as it is not used as pointer.

By dropping the refcount right after getting it, a single variable is
needed instead of two.

Fix this by use a single variable and drop the refcount right after
of_find_node_by_path().

<title>clocksource/drivers/arc_timer: Utilize generic sched_clock</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b7d25836ab005b02c8ec5edc57ddb71c0e0f3f1c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit bf287607c80f24387fedb431a346dc67f25be12c upstream.

It turned out we used to use default implementation of sched_clock()
from kernel/sched/clock.c which was as precise as 1/HZ, i.e.
by default we had 10 msec granularity of time measurement.

Now given ARC built-in timers are clocked with the same frequency as
CPU cores we may get much higher precision of time tracking.

Thus we switch to generic sched_clock which really reads ARC hardware
counters.

This is especially helpful for measuring short events.
That's what we used to have:
------------------------------&gt;8------------------------
$ perf stat /bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello &gt; /dev/null

 Performance counter stats for '/bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello':

         10.000000      task-clock (msec)         #    2.832 CPUs utilized
                 1      context-switches          #    0.100 K/sec
                 1      cpu-migrations            #    0.100 K/sec
                63      page-faults               #    0.006 M/sec
           3049480      cycles                    #    0.305 GHz
           1091259      instructions              #    0.36  insn per cycle
            256828      branches                  #   25.683 M/sec
             27026      branch-misses             #   10.52% of all branches

And now we'll see:
------------------------------&gt;8------------------------
$ perf stat /bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello &gt; /dev/null

 Performance counter stats for '/bin/sh -c /root/lmbench-master/bin/arc/hello':

       0.003519000 seconds user
       0.000000000 seconds sys
------------------------------&gt;8------------------------

Note how much more meaningful is the second output - time spent for
execution pretty much matches number of cycles spent (we're runnign
@ 1GHz here).

<content type='text'>
Add support for platforms where pit_shutdown() doesn't work because of a
quirk in the PIT emulation. On these platforms setting the counter register
to zero causes the PIT to start running again, negating the shutdown.

Provide a global variable that controls whether the counter register is
zero'ed, which platform specific code can override.

<content type='text'>
The driver is for gx6605s SOC system timer and there are two
same timers in gx6605s. We use one for clkevt and another one for
clksrc.

The timer is mmio map to access, so we need give mmio address in dts.

The counter at 0x0  offset is clock event.
The counter at 0x40 offset is clock source.

The driver is for C-SKY SMP timer. It only supports oneshot event
and 32bit overflow for clocksource. Per cpu core has one timer and
all timers share one clock-counter-input from the same clocksource.

This use mfcr&amp;mtcr instructions to access the regs.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This patch set contains a lot (at least, for me) of improvements to
  the RISC-V kernel port:

   - The removal of some cacheinfo values that were bogus.

   - On systems with F but without D the kernel will not show the F
     extension to userspace, as it isn't actually supported.

   - Support for futexes.

   - Removal of some unused code.

   - Cleanup of some menuconfig entries.

   - Support for systems without a floating-point unit, and for building
     kernels that will never use the floating-point unit.

   - More fixes to the RV32I port, which regressed again. It's really
     time to get this into a regression test somewhere so I stop
     breaking it. Thanks to Zong for resurrecting it again!

   - Various fixes that resulted from a year old review of our original
     patch set that I finally got around to.

   - Various improvements to SMP support, largely based around having
     switched to logical hart numbering, as well as some interrupt
     improvements. This one is in the same patch set as above, thanks to
     Atish for sheparding everything though as my patch set was a bit of
     a mess.

  I'm pretty sure this is our largest patch set since the original
  kernel contribution, and it's certainly the one with the most
  contributors. While I don't have anything else I know I'm going to
  submit for the merge window, I would be somewhat surprised if I didn't
  screw anything up.

  Thanks for the help, everyone!"
