| * arm64: generic timer: use virtual counter instead of physical at EL0Will Deacon2012-12-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want to use the virtual counter at EL0, as the physical counter may not track the current clocksource for guests running under a hypervisor. This patch updates the vdso and generic timer driver to use the virtual counter. The kernel EL2 entry code is also updated to ensure that the virtual offset is initialised to zero.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | This will make the two crucial integer divisions in the generic ARM arch timer used for ARMv8 use the kernel DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() helper inline from <linux/kernel.h> so they get more precise.

* arm64: Generic timers supportMarc Zyngier2012-09-171-0/+232
This patch adds support for the ARM generic timers with A64 instructions for accessing the timer registers. It uses the physical counter as the clock source and the virtual counter as sched_clock. The timer frequency can be specified via DT or read from the CNTFRQ_EL0 register. The physical counter is also accessible from user space allowing fast gettimeofday() implementation.
