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 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.

Jianyong Wu (6):
  Export psci_ops.conduit symbol as modules will use it.
  reorganize ptp_kvm modules to make it arch-independent.
  Timer: expose monotonic clock and counter value
  arm64: Add hvc call service for ptp_kvm.
  Enable ptp_kvm for arm64
  kvm: add kvm ptp capability extension for arm64

If arm_smccc_1_1_invoke used in modules, psci_ops.conduit should
be export.

Currently, ptp_kvm modules implementation is only for x86 which includs
large part of arch-specific code.  This patch move all of those code
into related arch directory.

A number of PTP drivers (such as ptp-kvm) are assuming what the
current clock source is, which could lead to interesting effects on
systems where the clocksource can change depending on external events.

For this purpose, add a new API that retrives both the current
monotonic clock as well as its counter value.

This patch is the base of ptp_kvm for arm64.
ptp_kvm modules will call hvc to get this service.
The service offers real time and counter cycle of host for guest.

Currently in arm64 virtualization environment, there is no mechanism to
keep time sync between guest and host. Time in guest will drift compared
with host after boot up as they may both use third party time sources
to correct their time respectively. The time deviation will be in order
of milliseconds but some scenarios ask for higher time precision, like
in cloud envirenment, we want all the VMs running in the host aquire the
same level accuracy from host clock.

Use of kvm ptp clock, which choose the host clock source clock as a
reference clock to sync time clock between guest and host has been adopted
by x86 which makes the time sync order from milliseconds to nanoseconds.

This patch enable kvm ptp on arm64 and we get the similar clock drift as
found with x86 with kvm ptp.

Test result comparison between with kvm ptp and without it in arm64 are
as follows. This test derived from the result of command 'chronyc
sources'. we should take more cure of the last sample column which shows
the offset between the local clock and the source at the last measurement.

no kvm ptp in guest:

The dns1.synet.edu.cn is the network reference clock for guest and
120.25.115.20 is the network reference clock for host. we can't get the
clock error between guest and host directly, but a roughly estimated value
will be in order of hundreds of us to ms.

with kvm ptp in guest:
chrony has been disabled in host to remove the disturb by network clock.

The PHC0 is the ptp clock which choose the host clock as its source
clock. So we can be sure to say that the clock error between host and guest
is in order of ns.

Let userspace check if there is kvm ptp service in host.
before VMs migrate to a another host, VMM may check if this
cap is available to determine the migration behaviour.

There must be something wrong with the way you've taken this patch in
your tree. My authorship is gone (not that I deeply care about it, but
it is good practice to keep attributions), and the subject line has been
rewritten.

I'd appreciate it if you could fix this in a future revision of this
series. For reference, the original patch is here[1].

This export wasn't in my original patch. I guess you need it because
your ptp driver builds as a module? It'd be good to mention it in the
commit log.
