Add some the architected timer related infrastructure, and support timer interrupt injection, which can happen as a resultof three possible events: - The virtual timer interrupt has fired while we were still executing the guest - The timer interrupt hasn't fired, but it expired while we were doing the world switch - A hrtimer we programmed earlier has fired Reviewed-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall <c.dall@virtualopensystems.com> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

Add the init code for the hypervisor, the virtual machine, and the virtual CPUs. An interrupt handler is also wired to allow the VGIC maintenance interrupts, used to deal with level triggered interrupts and LR underflows. A CPU hotplug notifier is registered to disable/enable the interrupt as requested.

An interrupt may have been disabled after being made pending on the CPU interface (the classic case is a timer running while we're rebooting the guest - the interrupt would kick as soon as the CPU interface gets enabled, with deadly consequences). The solution is to examine already active LRs, and check the interrupt is still enabled. If not, just retire it.

When an interrupt occurs for the guest, it is sometimes necessary to find out which vcpu was running at that point. Keep track of which vcpu is being run in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run(), and allow the data to be retrieved using either: - kvm_arm_get_running_vcpu(): returns the vcpu running at this point on the current CPU. Can only be used in a non-preemptible context. - kvm_arm_get_running_vcpus(): returns the per-CPU variable holding the running vcpus, usable for per-CPU interrupts.

On ARM some bits are specific to the model being emulated for the guest and user space needs a way to tell the kernel about those bits. An example is mmio device base addresses, where KVM must know the base address for a given device to properly emulate mmio accesses within a certain address range or directly map a device with virtualiation extensions into the guest address space. We make this API ARM-specific as we haven't yet reached a consensus for a generic API for all KVM architectures that will allow us to do something like this.

Currently, the ARM backend must maintain a redundant list of timers for the purpose of centralising timer broadcast functionality. This prevents sharing timer drivers across architectures. This patch moves the pain of dealing with timer broadcasts to the core clockevents tick broadcast code, which already maintains its own list of timers.

Currently, the timer broadcast mechanism is defined by a function pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental mechanism for broadcast is architecture-specific, this means that clock_event_device drivers cannot be shared across multiple architectures. This patch adds an (optional) architecture-specific function for timer tick broadcast, allowing drivers which may require broadcast functionality to be shared across multiple architectures.

Currently the broadcast mechanism used for timers is abstracted by a function pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental mechanism for broadcast is architecture-specific, this ties each clock_event_device driver to a single architecture, even where the driver is otherwise generic. This patch adds a standard path for the receipt of timer broadcasts, so drivers and/or architecture backends need not manage redundant lists of timers for the purpose of routing broadcast timer ticks.

The arch_timer driver supports a superset of the functionality of the arm_generic driver, and is not tied to a particular arch. This patch moves arm64 to use the arch_timer driver, gaining additional functionality in doing so, and removes the (now unused) arm_generic driver. Timer-related hooks specific to arm64 are moved into arch/arm64/kernel/time.c.

The core functionality of the arch_timer driver is not directly tied to anything under arch/arm, and can be split out. This patch factors out the core of the arch_timer driver, so it can be shared with other architectures. A couple of functions are added so that architecture-specific code can interact with the driver without needing to touch its internals. The ARM_ARCH_TIMER config variable is moved out to drivers/clocksource/Kconfig, existing uses in arch/arm are replaced with HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER, which selects it.

Several bits in CNTKCTL reset to 0, including PL0VTEN. For architectures using the generic timer which wish to have a fast gettimeofday vDSO implementation, these bits must be set to 1 by the kernel. For architectures without a vDSO, it's best to leave the bits set to 0 for now to ensure that if and when support is added, it's implemented sanely architecture wide. As the bootloader might set PL0VTEN to a value that doesn't correspond to that which the kernel prefers, we must explicitly set it to the architecture port's preferred value. This patch adds arch_counter_set_user_access, which sets the PL0 access permissions to that required by the architecture. For arch/arm, this currently means disabling all userspace access.

Currently, the arch_timer driver is tied to the arm port, as it relies on code in arch/arm/smp.c to setup and teardown timers as cores are hotplugged on and off. The timer is registered through an arm-specific registration mechanism, preventing sharing the driver with the arm64 port. This patch moves the driver to using a cpu notifier instead, making it easier to port.

Without the isbs in arch_timer_get_cnt{p,v}ct the cpu may speculate reads and return stale values. This could be bad for code sensitive to changes in expected deltas between calls (e.g. the delay loop). Without isbs in arch_timer_reg_write the processor may reorder instructions around enabling/disabling of the timer or writing the compare value, which we probably don't want. This patch adds isbs to prevent those issues. Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

We're currently inconsistent with respect to our accesses to the physical and virtual counters, mixing and matching the two. This patch introduces and uses a function pointer for accessing the correct counter based on whether we're using physical or virtual interrupts. All current accesses to the counter accessors are redirected through it. When the driver is moved out to drivers/clocksource, there's the possibility that code called before the timer code is initialised will attempt to call arch_timer_read_counter (e.g. sched_clock for AArch64). To avoid having to have to check whether the timer has been initialised either in arch_timer_read_counter or one of it's callers, a default implementation is assigned that simply returns 0.
