[PATCHv4 00/14] Unify arm_generic and arch_timer drivers

[Mark Rutland]

This is an update to v3 of the series I posted earlier this month [1].

Changes since v3:
* Rebase to v3.8-rc3 (fixing arm64 Kconfig conflict).
* Use physical timers if hyp mode is available.
* Separate the addition of isbs into separate patches.
* Change arch_timer_read_counter into a function pointer.
* Style fixups.
* Kconfig: s/USE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER/HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER/
Changes since v2:
* Rebase to v3.8-rc2
Changes since v1:
* Rename arch_counter_{enable=>set}_user_access.
* Explicitly disable access to counters from userspace on arm.
* Add device_node refcounting fix.
* Fix conflict with Will Deacon's AArch64 vdso changes.
* Simplify the cpu notifier.
* Fix a couple of style issues.

Currently we have two drivers for the ARM generic / architected timer,
arch_timer in arch/arm, and arm_generic in drivers/clocksource. This is
an unnecessary duplication of code, and will only lead to maintenance
headaches later.

This patch series splits the generic portion of the arch_timer out to
drivers/clocksource, and ports the arm/arm64 code to use it. The now
unused arm_generic driver is removed in the process.

Separating the arch_timer driver from the arm-specific local_timer api
currently loses us broadcast timer support. I've posted another series
[2] which remedies this by decoupling the timer broadcast mechanism from
drivers.

The series applies to v3.8-rc3, and has been tested on a TC2 test chip.
It also applies to Catalin's soc-armv8-model branch [3], the result of
which has been tested on an AArch64 model (with additional interrupts
listed in the dt).

Christoffer, I've folded in a patch from Marc to use physical timers if
hyp mode is available. This should solve the conflict with your KVM/ARM
architected timers support patches.

Thanks,
Mark.
