[PATCH v3 00/20] hw/mips: Set CPU frequency

["Philippe Mathieu-Daudé" <f4bug@amsat.org>]

Since v2:
- Renamed "clk" -> "clk-in"
- Renamed "cpuclk-out -> "cpu-refclk"

Missing review: patches 6-20

~~~

All the MIPS cores emulated by QEMU provides the Coproc#0
'Count' register which can be used as a free running timer.

Since it's introduction in 2005 this timer uses a fixed
frequency of 100 MHz (for a CPU freq of 200 MHz).
While this is not an issue with Linux guests, it makes
some firmwares behave incorrectly.

The Clock API allow propagating clocks. It is particularly
useful when hardware dynamicly changes clock frequencies.

To be able to model such MIPS hardware, we need to refactor
the MIPS hardware code to handle clocks.

This series is organized as follow:

1/ qdev/clock patches already reviewed but not merged

2/ refactor the CP0 timer period to allow dynamic changes

3/ MIPS CPU get an optional input clock

4/ set correct CPU frequencies to all boards

I used a MIPSsim test suggested by Thomas.
The test is available on the list:

Possible follow up:
- QOM'ify the GIC
- let the GIC handle dynamic clock changes

Regards,

Phil.
