[ Upstream commit d9f15a9de44affe733e34f93bc184945ba277e6d ]

This reverts commit 232ccac1bd9b5bfe73895f527c08623e7fa0752d.

On the subject of suspend, the RISC-V SBI spec states:

  This does not cover whether any given events actually reach the hart or
  not, just what the hart will do if it receives an event. On PolarFire
  SoC, and potentially other SiFive based implementations, events from the
  RISC-V timer do reach a hart during suspend. This is not the case for the
  implementation on the Allwinner D1 - there timer events are not received
  during suspend.

To fix this, the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP (mis)feature was enabled for the
timer driver - but this has broken both RCU stall detection and timers
generally on PolarFire SoC and potentially other SiFive based
implementations.

If an AXI read to the PCIe controller on PolarFire SoC times out, the
system will stall, however, with CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP active, the system
just locks up without RCU stalling:

	io scheduler kyber registered

	microchip-pcie 2000000000.pcie: ded error in pcie2axi buffer
	Freeing initrd memory: 7332K

Similarly issues were reported with clock_nanosleep() - with a test app
that sleeps each cpu for 6, 5, 4, 3 ms respectively, HZ=250 &amp; the blamed
commit in place, the sleep times are rounded up to the next jiffy:

Samples: 521      Samples: 521      Samples: 521      Samples: 521

Fortunately, the D1 has a second timer, which is "currently used in
preference to the RISC-V/SBI timer driver" so a revert here does not
hurt operation of D1 in its current form.

Ultimately, a DeviceTree property (or node) will be added to encode the
behaviour of the timers, but until then revert the addition of
CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP.

<title>clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Fix XGene-1 TVAL register math error</title>

[ Upstream commit 839a973988a94c15002cbd81536e4af6ced2bd30 ]

The TVAL register is 32 bit signed.  Thus only the lower 31 bits are
available to specify when an interrupt is to occur at some time in the
near future.  Attempting to specify a larger interval with TVAL results
in a negative time delta which means the timer fires immediately upon
being programmed, rather than firing at that expected future time.

The solution is for Linux to declare that TVAL is a 31 bit register rather
than give its true size of 32 bits.  This prevents Linux from programming
TVAL with a too-large value.  Note that, prior to 5.16, this little trick
was the standard way to handle TVAL in Linux, so there is nothing new
happening here on that front.

The softlockup detector hides the issue, because it keeps generating
short timer deadlines that are within the scope of the broken timer.

Disabling it, it starts using NO_HZ with much longer timer deadlines, which
turns into an interrupt flood:

 11: 1124855130  949168462  758009394   76417474  104782230   30210281
         310890 1734323687     GICv2  29 Level     arch_timer

And "much longer" isn't that long: it takes less than 43s to underflow
TVAL at 50MHz (the frequency of the counter on XGene-1).

Some comments on the v1 version of this patch by Marc Zyngier:

  XGene implements CVAL (a 64bit comparator) in terms of TVAL (a countdown
  register) instead of the other way around. TVAL being a 32bit register,
  the width of the counter should equally be 32.  However, TVAL is a
  *signed* value, and keeps counting down in the negative range once the
  timer fires.

  It means that any TVAL value with bit 31 set will fire immediately,
  as it cannot be distinguished from an already expired timer. Reducing
  the timer range back to a paltry 31 bits papers over the issue.

  Another problem cannot be fixed though, which is that the timer interrupt
  *must* be handled within the negative countdown period, or the interrupt
  will be lost (TVAL will rollover to a positive value, indicative of a
  new timer deadline).

commit af246cc6d0ed11318223606128bb0b09866c4c08 upstream.

CNTPCT_LO and CNTVCT_LO are defined by mistake in commit '8b82c4f883a7',
so fix them according to the Arm ARM DDI 0487I.a, Table I2-4
"CNTBaseN memory map" as follows:

Offset    Register      Type Description
0x000     CNTPCT[31:0]  RO   Physical Count register.
0x004     CNTPCT[63:32] RO
0x008     CNTVCT[31:0]  RO   Virtual Count register.
0x00C     CNTVCT[63:32] RO

<title>RISC-V: Add Sstc extension support</title>

<id>7ab52f75a9cf7fed7ba85802b986825dd72df641</id>
<content type='text'>
This series implements Sstc extension support which was ratified
recently.  Before the Sstc extension, an SBI call is necessary to
generate timer interrupts as only M-mode have access to the timecompare
registers. Thus, there is significant latency to generate timer
interrupts at kernel.  For virtualized enviornments, its even worse as
the KVM handles the SBI call and uses a software timer to emulate the
timecomapre register.

Sstc extension solves both these problems by defining a
stimecmp/vstimecmp at supervisor (host/guest) level. It allows kernel to
program a timer and recieve interrupt without supervisor execution
enviornment (M-mode/HS mode) intervention.

* palmer/riscv-sstc:
  RISC-V: Prefer sstc extension if available
  RISC-V: Enable sstc extension parsing from DT
  RISC-V: Add SSTC extension CSR details

RISC-V ISA has sstc extension which allows updating the next clock event
via a CSR (stimecmp) instead of an SBI call. This should happen dynamically
if sstc extension is available. Otherwise, it will fallback to SBI call
to maintain backward compatibility.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - Enabling the FPU is now a static_key

 - Improvements to the Svpbmt support

 - CPU topology bindings for a handful of systems

 - Support for systems with 64-bit hart IDs

 - Many settings have been enabled in the defconfig, including both
   support for the StarFive systems and many of the Docker requirements

There are also a handful of cleanups and improvements, as usual.
