From: Fu Wei <redacted>

On platforms booting with ACPI, architected memory-mapped timers'
configuration data is provided by firmware through the ACPI GTDT
static table.

The clocksource architected timer kernel driver requires a firmware
interface to collect timer configuration and configure its driver.
this infrastructure is present for device tree systems, but it is
missing on systems booting with ACPI.

Implement the kernel infrastructure required to parse the static
ACPI GTDT table so that the architected timer clocksource driver can
make use of it on systems booting with ACPI, therefore enabling
the corresponding timers configuration.

Nit: acpi_arch_timer_mem_init() to make it consistent with other ACPI
calls ?

yes, it makes sense, will do this way for the function  which is exported

Nit: these two checks can be carried out at GTDT init where the GTDT
is parsed first. Actually you could have two functions one to init

this check is  the verify the data in GT block, but the GTDT init
won't get into the block,
so I think that is better to keep this in GT block init function
"acpi_arch_timer_mem_init()"

quoted

timers (say acpi_gtdt_timers_init()) and one watchdogs, that would
eliminate the duplicated timer_block/watchdog arrays (both sized
Platform Timer Count) and acpi_gtdt_timers_init() can return
the number of entries found so that you can loop with a determined
upper bound in the arm arch timer driver.

Yes, I did this way in previous patchset, but we still need to do scan
loop in both  functions for
two types of platform timer.
So I decide to keep the scan loop in the acpi_gtdt_init to get the
number and the entries pointer
of each type of platform timers in one go.  then we don't need to scan
GTDT in two functions.

I have thought about this again, I think I should keep the loop in each
type of platform timers. The benefit we can get from this are:
(1) reduce the global variables:
static struct acpi_gtdt_timer_block **timer_block __initdata;
static struct acpi_gtdt_watchdog **watchdog __initdata;
make them in thire own init function.
(2) avoid allocating and free memory in different functions.

we also can return all the GT block info in one go.

Just thinking aloud, these are just improvements I can carry them
out later, the more important question here is the interface between the
parsing code and the arch timer probing code which depends on other
patches and that needs to be agreed, this patch is not really a problem.

yes, every time I modify the interface I have to change the driver :-(

That's the reason why it is not explicit in the GTDT table :)

You should unregister phys_irq here for correctness, right ?

yup, thanks for pointing this  bug out. :-)

Overall it looks fine as long as the interface with clocksource is
settled, which is what really needs to be agreed upon in this series.

Thanks for your help :-)
