Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] Support userspace irqchip with arch timers
Date: Wed,  5 Apr 2017 11:28:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170405092815.22503-1-cdall@linaro.org> (raw)

This series is the second version of the rework of the patches to support
architected timers with a userspace irqchip sent by Alexander Graf [1].

We first cleanup some of the timer code to make it easier to understand
what is being done in the later patches, and then define the ABI,
implement timers support, implement PMU support, and finally advertise
the features.

These patches are based on the recent work from Jintack to support the
physical timer in addition to the virtual timer.  This series including
its dependencies can be found here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cdall/linux.git irqs-to-user-v3

I tested this using Alex's QEMU patch with his fixes for SMP applied.  This
seems to be rock-solid.  The temporary-not-for-upstream-but-for-testing patch
can be found here (force-pushed and rebased since v2):

https://git.linaro.org/people/christoffer.dall/qemu-arm.git no-kvm-irqchip

I also tested it on 32-bit and it looks good there as well.

Changes since v2:
 - Actually push the right content to the kernel branch, sorry.
 - Rebased on kvmarm/queue as of this morning (v4.11-rc1+ stuff)
 - Changed IOCTL numbers as needed

Changes since v1:
 - Rework the ABI to support devices in general as opposed to just
   timers
 - Support the PMU in addition to timers
 - Also support the physical timer (rebased on Jintack's work)
 - Updated some comments where I noticed things were out of date.

Several changes have been made compared to v7 of the original single
patch, including:
 - Rewording ABI documentation to be more in line with the ARM
   architecture
 - Add an explicit check for needing to notify userspace of a level
   change instead of propagating the value
 - Changes to commenting throughout to more accurately describe the
   architecture concepts we try to maintain
 - Reword of functions, for example from sync to update when the date
   only flows one direction
