PATCH v2 1/4 arm64: arch_timer: Add device tree binding for hisilicon-161601 erratum

This erratum describes a bug in logic outside the core, so MIDR can't be used to identify its presence, and reading an SoC-specific revision register from common arch timer code would be awkward. So, describe it in the device tree.

v2: Use the new erratum name and update the description.

PATCH v2 2/4 arm64: arch_timer: Introduce a generic erratum handing mechanism for fsl-a008585

The workaround for hisilicon,161601 will check the return value of the system counter by different way, in order to distinguish with the fsl-a008585 workaround, introduce a new generic erratum handing mechanism for fsl-a008585 and rename some functions.

v2: Introducing a new generic erratum handling mechanism for fsl erratum a008585.

PATCH v2 3/4 arm64: arch_timer: Work around Erratum Hisilicon-161601

In reply to Ding Tianhong

Erratum Hisilicon-161601 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.

The workaround is enabled if the hisilicon,erratum-161601 property is found in the timer node in the device tree. This can be overridden with the clocksource.arm_arch_timer.hisilicon-161601 boot parameter, which allows KVM users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to automatically communicate this information.

Fix some description for fsl erratum a008585.

v2: Significant rework based on feedback, including seperate the fsl erratum a008585
to another patch, update the erratum name and remove unwanted code.

Do you see a pattern here? Surely you can factor a bit of that code (and remove the nonsensical bits).

PATCH v2 3/4 arm64: arch_timer: Work around Erratum Hisilicon-161601

Quoted 31 lines · Marc Zyngier
Quoted 30 lines · Ding Tianhong

Erratum Hisilicon-161601 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.

The workaround is enabled if the hisilicon,erratum-161601 property is found in the timer node in the device tree. This can be overridden with the clocksource.arm_arch_timer.hisilicon-161601 boot parameter, which allows KVM users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to automatically communicate this information.

Fix some description for fsl erratum a008585.

v2: Significant rework based on feedback, including seperate the fsl erratum a008585
to another patch, update the erratum name and remove unwanted code.

Please document how this value was found (either in the code or in the commit message).

It really difficult to give the accurate standard, theoretically the error should not happened twice together, so maybe 2 is enough here, I just give a arbitrary value.

Same remark as in the previous patch.

I think the sentence *Verify whether the value of the second read is larger than the first by less than 32 is the only way to confirm the value is correct* could explain why should *(_new - _old) >> 5*. it is the same as (_new - _old)/32, also mean the _new should never bigger than _old more than 32.

This should be in the previous patch as well, as it only messes with the FSL erratum.

PATCH v2 3/4 arm64: arch_timer: Work around Erratum Hisilicon-161601

Quoted 121 lines · Ding Tianhong
Quoted 31 lines · Marc Zyngier
Quoted 30 lines · Ding Tianhong

Erratum Hisilicon-161601 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.

The workaround is enabled if the hisilicon,erratum-161601 property is found in the timer node in the device tree. This can be overridden with the clocksource.arm_arch_timer.hisilicon-161601 boot parameter, which allows KVM users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to automatically communicate this information.

Fix some description for fsl erratum a008585.

v2: Significant rework based on feedback, including seperate the fsl erratum a008585
to another patch, update the erratum name and remove unwanted code.

I think the sentence *Verify whether the value of the second read is larger than the first by less than 32 is the only way to confirm the value is correct* could explain why should *(_new - _old) >> 5*. it is the same as (_new - _old)/32, also mean the _new should never bigger than _old more than 32.

This erratum describes a bug in logic outside the core, so MIDR can't be used to identify its presence, and reading an SoC-specific revision register from common arch timer code would be awkward. So, describe it in the device tree.

v2: Use the new erratum name and update the description.
