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.

Currently the arch_timer register accessors are thrown together with

This patch moves the register accessors into a header file, as with
the arm64 version. Constants required by the accessors are also moved.

The CNTFRQ register is not duplicated for physical and virtual timers,
and accessing it as if it were is confusing.
Instead, use a separate accessor which doesn't take the access type

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.

To ensure the correct size of types, use u64 for the return value of
arch_timer_get_cnt{p,v}ct, and u32 for arch_timer_rate, matching the
size of the registers these values are taken from. While we're changing
them anyway, simplify the implementation of arch_timer_get_cnt{p,v}ct.

The current timer-based delay loop relies on the architected timer to
initiate the switch away from the polling-based implementation. This is
unfortunate for platforms without the architected timers but with a
suitable delay source (that is, constant frequency, always powered-up
and ticking as long as the CPUs are online).
This patch introduces a registration mechanism for the delay timer
(which provides an unconditional read_current_timer implementation) and
updates the architected timer code to use the new interface.

At the moment, the arch_timer driver only uses the physical timer,
which can cause problem if PL2 hasn't enabled PL1 access in CNTHCTL,
which is likely in a virtualized environment. Instead, the virtual
timer is always available.
This patch enables the use of the virtual timer, unless no
interrupt is provided in the DT for it, in which case it falls
back to the physical timer.

This patch allows a timer-based delay implementation to be selected by
switching the delay routines over to use get_cycles, which is
implemented in terms of read_current_timer. This further allows us to
skip the loop calibration and have a consistent delay function in the
face of core frequency scaling.
To avoid the pain of dealing with memory-mapped counters, this
implementation uses the co-processor interface to the architected timers
when they are available. The previous loop-based implementation is
kept around for CPUs without the architected timers and we retain both
the maximum delay (2ms) and the corresponding conversion factors for
determining the number of loops required for a given interval. Since the
indirection of the timer routines will only work when called from C,
the sa1100 sleep routines are modified to branch to the loop-based delay
functions directly.

This patch implements read_current_timer using the architected timers
when they are selected via CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER. If they are detected
not to be usable at runtime, we return -ENXIO to the caller.
Furthermore, if read_current_timer is exported then we can implement
get_cycles in terms of it for use as both an entropy source and for
implementing __udelay and friends.

When a CPU is shutdown its architected timer comparators registers are
lost. Within CPU idle, before processors enter shutdown they enter
clock events broadcast mode through the
clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER, cpuid);
function where the local timers are emulated by a global always-on timer.
On CPU resume, the per-CPU tick device normal mode is restored by exiting
broadcast mode through
clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_EXIT, cpuid);
In order for this mechanism to function, architected timers should add to
their feature C3STOP, which means that they are not able to function when the
CPU is in off-mode.
