Currently, the arch timer driver uses ARCH_TIMER_PHYS_SECURE_PPI to mean the driver will use the secure PPI *and* potentially also use the non-secure PPI. This is somewhat confusing. For arm64 it never makes sense to use the secure PPI, but we do anyway, inheriting this behaviour from 32-bit arm. For ACPI, we may not even have a valid secure PPI, so we need to be able to only request the non-secure PPI. To that end, this patch reworks the timer driver so that we can request the non-secure PPI alone. The PPI selection is split out into a new function, arch_timer_select_ppi(), and verification of the selected PPI is shifted out to callers (as DT may select the PPI by other means and must handle this anyway). We now consistently use arch_timer_has_nonsecure_ppi() to determine whether we must manage a non-secure PPI *in addition* to a secure PPI. When we only have a non-secure PPI, this returns false.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
