Paul Burton dfe101bcad clocksource/drivers/mips-gic-timer: Always use cluster 0 counter as clocksource
In a multi-cluster MIPS system, there are multiple GICs - one in each
cluster - each of which has its independent counter. The counters in
each GIC are not synchronized in any way, so they can drift relative
to one another through the lifetime of the system. This is problematic
for a clock source which ought to be global.

Avoid problems by always accessing cluster 0's counter, using
cross-cluster register access. This adds overhead so it is applied only
on multi-cluster systems.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
