[RFC PATCH v5 0/6] Enable ptp_kvm for arm64

From: Jianyong Wu
Date: Tue Oct 15 2019 - 06:48:56 EST


kvm ptp targets to provide high precision time sync between guest
and host in virtualization environment. This patch enable kvm ptp
for arm64.
This patch set base on [1][2][3]

change log:
from v4 to v5:
(1) remove hvc delay compensasion as it should leave to userspace.
(2) check current clocksource in hvc call service.
(3) expose current clocksource by adding it to
system_time_snapshot.
(4) add helper to check if clocksource is arm_arch_counter.
(5) rename kvm_ptp.c to ptp_kvm_common.c
from v3 to v4:
(1) fix clocksource of ptp_kvm to arch_sys_counter.
(2) move kvm_arch_ptp_get_clock_fn into arm_arch_timer.c
(3) subtract cntvoff before return cycles from host.
(4) use ktime_get_snapshot instead of getnstimeofday and
get_current_counterval to return time and counter value.
(5) split ktime and counter into two 32-bit block respectively
to avoid Y2038-safe issue.
(6) set time compensation to device time as half of the delay of hvc call.
(7) add ARM_ARCH_TIMER as dependency of ptp_kvm for
arm64.
from v2 to v3:
(1) fix some issues in commit log.
(2) add some receivers in send list.
from v1 to v2:
(1) move arch-specific code from arch/ to driver/ptp/
(2) offer mechanism to inform userspace if ptp_kvm service is
available.
(3) separate ptp_kvm code for arm64 into hypervisor part and
guest part.
(4) add API to expose monotonic clock and counter value.
(5) refine code: remove no necessary part and reconsitution.
