Erratum Hisilicon-161010101 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the
potential to contain an erroneous value when the timer value changes".
Accesses to TVAL (both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter
read.  Accesses to CVAL are not affected.

The workaround is to reread the system count registers until the value of the second
read is larger than the first one by less than 32, the system counter can be guaranteed
not to return wrong value twice by back-to-back read and the error value is always larger
than the correct one by 32. Writes to TVAL are replaced with an equivalent write to CVAL.

v2: Introducing a new generic erratum handling mechanism for fsl,a008585 and hisilicon,161601.
    Significant rework based on feedback, including seperate the fsl erratum a008585
    to another patch, update the erratum name and remove unwanted code.

v3: Introducing the erratum_workaround_set_sne generic function for fsl erratum a008585
    and make the #define __fsl_a008585_read_reg to be private to the .c file instead of
    being globally visible. After discussion with Marc and Will, a consensus decision was
    made to remove the commandline parameter for enabling fsl,erratum-a008585 erratum,
    and make some generic name more specific, export timer_unstable_counter_workaround
    for module access.
    
    Significant rework based on feedback, including fix some alignment problem, make the
    #define __hisi_161601_read_reg to be private to the .c file instead of being globally
    visible, add more accurate annotation and modify a bit of logical format to enable
    arch_timer_read_ool_enabled, remove the kernel commandline parameter
    clocksource.arm_arch_timer.hisilicon-161601.

    Introduce a generic aquick framework for erratum in ACPI mode.

v4: rename the quirk handler parameter to make it more generic, and
    avoid break loop when handling the quirk becasue it need to
    support multi quirks handler.

    update some data structures for acpi mode. 

v5: Adapt the new kernel-parameters.txt for latest kernel version.
    Set the retries of reread system counter to 50, because it is possible 
    that some interrupts may lead to more than twice read errors and break the loop,
    it will trigger the warning, so we set the number of retries far beyond the number of
    iterations the loop has been observed to take.

v6: The last 2 patches in the previous version about the ACPI mode will conflict witch Fuwei's
    GTDT patches, so remove the ACPI part and only support the DT base code for this patch set.

    We have trigger a bug when select the CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER and enable function_graph
    to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer, the system will stall into an endless loop, it looks
    like that the ftrace_graph_caller will be related to xxx.read_cntvct_el0 and read the system counter
    again, so mark the xxx.read_cntvct_el0 with notrace to fix the problem.

v7: Introduce a new general config symbol named CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER_OOL_WORKAROUND to enable the workaround
    for any chips which has similar arch timer erratum just like "fsl,erratum_a008585" and "hisilicon,erratum_161601",
    modify the struct arch_timer_erratum_workaround to be compatible different chip erratum more easily, and
    reconstruction some code base on the new config symbol and struct, thanks to Marc's suggestion. 

v8: The original erratum ID could not cover all modules, which only specified <Errata-Prefix><SerialNum>, so after
    discussion with the soc team, we decide to use the new ID "161010101" for this timer erratum which consist of
    <Errata-Prefix><SeriesFlag><ModuleID><SerialNum> and also update the hisilicon erratum official documents.

v9: Modify the workaround description and remove the message for CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER_OOL_WORKAROUND.

Please. 3 series in 2 hours is not fun, and is not helping your case
either. Give us the time to properly review your patches, and wait until
we ask you to respin if we think that this is required.

Thanks,

I've picked these up (with a few local cleanups), given that some local
testing, and pushed the result to a branch [1] on my git repo.

There are likely to be clashes with the arm64 tree (e.g. for
silicon-errata.txt), and we're also likely to have more arch timer
updates shortly for the GTDT stuff, so I think the best bet is for both
arm64 and the clocksource tree to pull that branch for v4.11.

Alternatively, we could take this all through the arm64 tree, if the
clocksource maintainers are happy with that.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Mark.

Yes, GTDT patches conflict with this patch set but it's easy to
fix.

GTDT patch set is adding ACPI support for arch timer, and it's
only used for ARM64 now, in order to handler the conflict easily,
I think take them all through arm64 tree is better (I was working
with Fuwei for the GTDT patch set and I hope it's not blocked by
"who will merge the code"...)

I'm working directly with Mark, and any change I feel necessary will go
directly on top of Mark's branch (as far as I'm concerned, these patches
are now in a "frozen" state).

Sure. What I meant is that I'd prefer to fix any such conflict myself
(i.e. by basing the GTDT patches atop of this), before passing this
upwards.

In either case I believe we should be able to handle the conflict. Going
through one tree (i.e. arm64) would simplify things substantially,
though.

This really comes down to what the clocksource maintainers prefer.

Hopefully this is just a formality. :)

Fine by me, but I'd need at least Daniel's ack before taking these.

The overhead only affects the affected systems, since it is guarded by a
static key (the same static key that guards the FSL workaround that is
already in mainline).

As for creating a different clocksources, this would in turn make the
integration with the arch code more complex (arm64 relies on having
working architected timers, with or without workarounds) and the
integration with KVM (which relies on the same), and in the end create
quite a lot of duplication. Are we going to create a separate
clocksource for each potential erratum that people with screwed hardware
come up with?

I'd prefer to organise the mess rather than spread it everywhere.

Thanks,

	M.

Yes, that is what I understood so far.

That wasn't my point. The way the errata are handled in this patchset is
elegant and I have nothing against it. I'm worried about the accumulation of
fixes, hacks, workarounds in this driver. So my naive question is about not
using an identified bogus clocksource and use another one available on the
board, which is I believe often the case, instead of trying to deal with bogus
hardware. Apparently, that is not possible because 1) of KVM, 2) of duplication
and 3) of integration with the ARM64 code.

Does it mean it is not possible to use another clocksource/clockevent than the
armv8-timer ?

Can you elaborate these three points ?

I will add this punchline to my fortune database :)

Practically speaking, these platforms have no other clocksource or
clockevent device that I am aware of, which can be enumerated in a
standard manner using ACPI.

For point 1, KVM is intimately familiar with the architected timer
(which is managed during VM context switch in hyp code, for example).
KVM knows nothing of other clocksource or clockevent devices, and it is
far from trivial to plumb these in either way. Since the architected
timer is a mandatory part of ARMv8, guests may attempt to use it
regardless.

For point 3, arm64 currently requires the architected timer as this is
mandatory per the ARMv8 architecture. It is non-trivial to add support
for other devices to the vDSO, the delay loop, etc.

Localising these quirks to the architected timer driver is by far the
least worst option available. Marc and I are perfectly happy to manage
that.

Thanks,
Mark.

Ok, thanks for these clarifications.

It is up to me to ensure the clockevent/clocksource drivers in general are
following the right direction. And this driver looks more and more opaque. I
will spend some times to do a review of the driver as soon as I have time.

So we finish the reviews of this series, you take the patches when I ack them up,
but from this point, any submission for this driver will have to stick to the
standard submission rules, that is to say: Thomas Gleixner and I have to be
recipients of the patches and go through our tree. Dependency issues with
other patchset must be solved before applying them in another tree.

Thanks.

Same comment as the previous patch, this dependency is pointless.

Isn't possible to rely on the __init data mechanism, instead of polluting the
Kconfig with more options ?

FWIW, I'd locally fixed up the patches in the branch I previously
mentioned, so many issues in this series no longer exist.

I will post the cleaned up series momentarily. Hopefully that should be
less painful to review.

Thanks,
Mark.
