2010-02-25clocksource: Fix up a registration/IRQ race in the sh drivers.Paul Mundt3-19/+25
All of the SH clocksource drivers follow the scheme that the IRQ is setup prior to registering the clockevent. The interrupt handler in the clockevent cases looks to the event handler function pointer being filled in by the registration code, permitting us to get in to situations where asserted IRQs step in to the handler before registration has had a chance to complete and hitting a NULL pointer deref. In practice this is not an issue for most platforms, but some of them with fairly special loaders (or that are chain-loading from another kernel) may enter in to this situation. This fixes up the oops reported by Rafael on hp6xx.

2009-06-16time: move PIT_TICK_RATE to linux/timex.hArnd Bergmann1-0/+1
PIT_TICK_RATE is currently defined in four architectures, but in three different places. While linux/timex.h is not the perfect place for it, it is still a reasonable replacement for those drivers that traditionally use asm/timex.h to get CLOCK_TICK_RATE and expect it to be the PIT frequency. Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to 1193180UL. This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably can only improve accuracy. There was a discussion on the correct value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE a few years ago, after which every existing instance was getting changed to 1193182. According to the specification, it should be 1193181.818181...

On all hardware (some Intel ICH4, PIIX4 and PIIX4E chipsets) affected by a hardware errata there's about a 4.2% chance that initialization of the ACPI PMTMR fails. On those chipsets, we need to read out the timer value at least three times to get a correct result, for every once in a while (i.e. within a 3 ns window every 69.8 ns) the read returns a bogus result.

Clocksource and clockevent device based on the Atmel TC blocks. The clockevent device handles both periodic and oneshot modes, so this enables NO_HZ and high res timers on some platforms that previously couldn't use those mechanisms. This works on both AVR32 and AT91 chips, given relevant patches for tclib support (always) and clockevents (or else this will only look like a higher precision clocksource). It's an updated and modularized version of an AT91-only patch that has circulated for some time now. Changes relative to the original patch: * Update to use new tclib API * Replace open-coded do-while loop using goto with a real do-while loop * Minor irq handler optimization: Load register base address from dev_id instead of a global variable. * Aggressively turn off clocks when the clockevent isn't being used * Include the clockevent code on AT91RM9200 as well. The rating is lower than the System Timer, so the clock will usually stay off. * Don't assume that the number of clocks is always equal to the number of irqs.

2007-07-11PCI: Change all drivers to use pci_device->revisionAuke Kok1-4/+1
Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member. This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all. In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance.

2007-03-27[PATCH] correct slow acpi_pm ratingjohn stultz1-1/+1
On Bob's machine clocksource is selecting PIT over the ACPI PM timer, because he has the PIIX4 bug. That bug drops the ACPI PM timers rating to the same as the PIT, so that's why you're getting the PIT. Realistically, the PIT is much slower then even the triple read ACPI PM, so the de-ranking code is probably dropping it too far. So don't drop ACPI PM quite so low if we see the PIIX4 bug.

2007-03-05[PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426)john stultz2-2/+5
This patch resolves the issue found here: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426 The basic summary is: Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case), where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to the small sampling time used. It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init time. Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall). This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own boxes.

2007-02-16[PATCH] Allow early access to the power management timerThomas Gleixner1-8/+9
Allow early access to the power management timer by exposing the verified read function and providing a helper function which checks the pmtmr_ioport variable and returns either the pm timer readout or 0 in case the pm timer is not available. Create a new header file and replace also the ifdef'ed extern definition in arch/i386/kernel/acpi/boot.c This is a preperatory patch for the rework of the local apic timer calibration. No functional changes.
