[PATCH v3 1/3] drivers: clocksource: configure event stream for ARM arch timer

From: Sudeep KarkadaNagesha
Date: Thu Jul 25 2013 - 05:46:05 EST


From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>

The ARM architected timer can generate events (used for waking up
CPUs executing the wfe instruction) at a frequency represented as a
power-of-2 divisor of the clock rate.

This patch configures the event stream, aiming for a period of 100us
between events. This can be used to implement wfe-based timeouts for
userspace locking implementations.

This patch also adds the hwcaps for the same, so that userspace can
detect this feature.

Hi,

This version adds the hwcaps for publishing the event stream feature to the
userspace.

This patch is now rebased on rmk's fixes branch as it conflicts with ab8d46c0
"ARM: 7788/1: elf: fix lpae hwcap feature reporting in proc/cpuinfo"

Regards,
Sudeep
