This series contains the necessary changes to allow architected timer access from user-space on 32-bit ARM. This allows the VDSO to support high resolution timestamps for clock_gettime and gettimeofday. This also merges substantially similar code from arm and arm64 into the core arm_arch_timer driver.
The functional changes are: - When available, CNTVCT is made readable by user space on arm, as it is on arm64. - The clocksource name becomes "arch_mem_counter" if CP15 access to the counter is not available.
These changes have been carried as part of the ARM VDSO patch set over the last several months, but I am splitting them out here as I assume they should go through the clocksource maintainers.
Changes since v1: - Fix minor checkpatch complaints. - Rework patches 2-4. v1 copied arm64's arch_timer_evtstrm_enable and arch_counter_set_user_access to the driver with slightly different names in one patch, then removed the unused functions in subsequent patches for each of arm and arm64. This seemed kind of awkward to me, so I've reorganized those changes into two patches that should be easier to review. Patch #1 is unchanged.
Nathan Lynch (3): clocksource: arm_arch_timer: change clocksource name if CP15 unavailable clocksource: arm_arch_timer: enable counter access for 32-bit ARM clocksource: arm_arch_timer: consolidate arch_timer_evtstrm_enable
