Jonathan Austin 56942fec06 ARM: 7538/1: delay: add registration mechanism for delay timer sources
The current timer-based delay loop relies on the architected timer to
initiate the switch away from the polling-based implementation. This is
unfortunate for platforms without the architected timers but with a
suitable delay source (that is, constant frequency, always powered-up
and ticking as long as the CPUs are online).

This patch introduces a registration mechanism for the delay timer
(which provides an unconditional read_current_timer implementation) and
updates the architected timer code to use the new interface.

Marc Zyngier a1b2dde704 ARM: 7522/1: arch_timers: register a time/cycle counter
Some subsystems (KVM for example) need access to a cycle counter.
In the KVM case, this is used to measure the time delta between
host and guest in order to accurately generate timer events for
the guest.

Marc Zyngier f48b5f1279 ARM: 7523/1: arch_timers: enable the use of the virtual timer
At the moment, the arch_timer driver only uses the physical timer,
which can cause problem if PL2 hasn't enabled PL1 access in CNTHCTL,
which is likely in a virtualized environment. Instead, the virtual
timer is always available.

This patch enables the use of the virtual timer, unless no
interrupt is provided in the DT for it, in which case it falls
back to the physical timer.

Will Deacon d0a533b182 ARM: 7452/1: delay: allow timer-based delay implementation to be selected
This patch allows a timer-based delay implementation to be selected by
switching the delay routines over to use get_cycles, which is
implemented in terms of read_current_timer. This further allows us to
skip the loop calibration and have a consistent delay function in the
face of core frequency scaling.

To avoid the pain of dealing with memory-mapped counters, this
implementation uses the co-processor interface to the architected timers
when they are available. The previous loop-based implementation is
kept around for CPUs without the architected timers and we retain both
the maximum delay (2ms) and the corresponding conversion factors for
determining the number of loops required for a given interval. Since the
indirection of the timer routines will only work when called from C,
the sa1100 sleep routines are modified to branch to the loop-based delay
functions directly.

Will Deacon 923df96b9f ARM: 7451/1: arch timer: implement read_current_timer and get_cycles
This patch implements read_current_timer using the architected timers
when they are selected via CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER. If they are detected
not to be usable at runtime, we return -ENXIO to the caller.

Furthermore, if read_current_timer is exported then we can implement
get_cycles in terms of it for use as both an entropy source and for
implementing __udelay and friends.

Lorenzo Pieralisi 27a5569dc6 ARM: 7444/1: kernel: add arch-timer C3STOP feature
When a CPU is shutdown its architected timer comparators registers are
lost. Within CPU idle, before processors enter shutdown they enter
clock events broadcast mode through the

clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER, cpuid);

function where the local timers are emulated by a global always-on timer.
On CPU resume, the per-CPU tick device normal mode is restored by exiting
broadcast mode through

clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_EXIT, cpuid);

In order for this mechanism to function, architected timers should add to
their feature C3STOP, which means that they are not able to function when the
CPU is in off-mode.
