<id>urn:sha1:bf75d9382bc4c57873c4193f90685058b6adf934</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':

            255209      branches                  #   84.947 M/sec

       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'>
commit 35b69a420bfb56b7b74cb635ea903db05e357bec upstream.

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.

<title>clocksource/drivers/fttmr010: Fix set_next_event handler</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4451d3f59f2a6f95e5d205c2d04ea072955d080d</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the aspeed MATCH1 register is updated to &lt;current_count -
cycles&gt; in set_next_event handler, with the assumption that COUNT
register value is preserved when the timer is disabled and it continues
decrementing after the timer is enabled. But the assumption is wrong:
RELOAD register is loaded into COUNT register when the aspeed timer is
enabled, which means the next event may be delayed because timer
interrupt won't be generated until &lt;0xFFFFFFFF - current_count +
cycles&gt;.

The problem can be fixed by updating RELOAD register to &lt;cycles&gt;, and
COUNT register will be re-loaded when the timer is enabled and interrupt
is generated when COUNT register overflows.

The test result on Facebook Backpack-CMM BMC hardware (AST2500) shows
the issue is fixed: without the patch, usleep(100) suspends the process
for several milliseconds (and sometimes even over 40 milliseconds);
after applying the fix, usleep(100) takes averagely 240 microseconds to
return under the same workload level.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This contains some major improvements to the RISC-V port, including
  the necessary interrupt controller and timer support to actually make
  it to userspace. Support for three devices has been added:

   - the ISA-mandated timers on RISC-V systems.

   - the ISA-mandated first-level interrupt controller on RISC-V
     systems, which is handled as part of our core arch code because
     it's very small and tightly tied to the ISA.

   - SiFive's platform-level interrupt controller, which talks to the
     actual devices.

  In addition to these new devices, there are a handful of cleanups all
  over the RISC-V tree:

   - build fixes for various configurations:
      * A fix to the vDSO build's makefile so it respects CFLAGS.
      * The addition of __lshrti3, a libgcc derived function necessary
        for some 32-bit configurations.
      * !SMP &amp;&amp; PERF_EVENTS

   - Cleanups to the arch code to remove the remnants of old versions of
     the drivers that were just properly submitted.
      * Some dead code from the timer driver, most of which wasn't ever
        even compiled.
      * Cleanups of some interrupt #defines, which are now local to the
        interrupt handling code.

   - Fixes to ptrace(), which while not being sufficient to fully make
     GDB work are at least sufficient to get simple GDB tasks to work.

   - Early printk support via RISC-V's architecturally mandated SBI
     console device.

   - A fix to our early debug trap handler to ensure it's always
     aligned.

  These patches have all been through a fairly extensive review process,
  but as this enables a whole pile of functionality (ie, userspace) I'm
  confident we'll need to submit a few more patches. The only concrete
  issues I know about are the sys_riscv_flush_icache patches, but as I
  managed to screw those up on Friday I figured it'd be best to let them
  bake another week.

  This tag boots a Fedora root filesystem on QEMU's master branch for
  me, and before this morning's rebase (from 4.18-rc8 to 4.18) it booted
  on the HiFive Unleashed.

  Thanks to Christoph Hellwig and the other guys at WD for getting the
  new drivers in shape!"

The RISC-V ISA defines a per-hart real-time clock and timer, which is
present on all systems.  The clock is accessed via the 'rdtime'
pseudo-instruction (which reads a CSR), and the timer is set via an SBI
call.

Since commit 39232ed5a179 ("time: Introduce one suspend clocksource to
compensate the suspend time") suspend/resume fails on AM437x platforms as
the clocksource actually stops in suspend.

Hence remove the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag.
