clockevents: Don't allow dummy broadcast timers

2013-03-07T16:16:11Z

Currently tick_check_broadcast_device doesn't reject clock_event_devices with CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DUMMY, and may select them in preference to real hardware if they have a higher rating value. In this situation, the dummy timer is responsible for broadcasting to itself, and the core clockevents code may attempt to call non-existent callbacks for programming the dummy, eventually leading to a panic. This patch makes tick_check_broadcast_device always reject dummy timers, preventing this problem.

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann: "A large number of cleanups, all over the platforms. This is dominated largely by the Samsung platforms (s3c, s5p, exynos) and a few of the others moving code out of arch/arm into more appropriate subsystems. The clocksource and irqchip drivers are now abstracted to the point where platforms that are already cleaned up do not need to even specify the driver they use, it can all get configured from the device tree as we do for normal device drivers. The clocksource changes basically touch every single platform in the process. We further clean up the use of platform specific header files here, with the goal of turning more of the platforms over to being "multiplatform" enabled, which implies that they cannot expose their headers to architecture independent code any more. It is expected that no functional changes are part of the cleanup. The overall reduction in total code lines is mostly the result of removing broken and obsolete code." * tag 'cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (133 commits) ARM: mvebu: correct gated clock documentation ARM: kirkwood: add missing include for nsa310 ARM: exynos: move exynos4210-combiner to drivers/irqchip mfd: db8500-prcmu: update resource passing drivers/db8500-cpufreq: delete dangling include ARM: at91: remove NEOCORE 926 board sunxi: Cleanup the reset code and add meaningful registers defines ARM: S3C24XX: header mach/regs-mem.h local ARM: S3C24XX: header mach/regs-power.h local ARM: S3C24XX: header mach/regs-s3c2412-mem.h local ARM: S3C24XX: Remove plat-s3c24xx directory in arch/arm/ ARM: S3C24XX: transform s3c2443 subirqs into new structure ARM: S3C24XX: modify s3c2443 irq init to initialize all irqs ARM: S3C24XX: move s3c2443 irq code to irq.c ARM: S3C24XX: transform s3c2416 irqs into new structure ARM: S3C24XX: modify s3c2416 irq init to initialize all irqs ARM: S3C24XX: move s3c2416 irq init to common irq code ARM: S3C24XX: Modify s3c_irq_wake to use the hwirq property ARM: S3C24XX: Move irq syscore-ops to irq-pm clocksource: always define CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE ...

clockevents: Fix generic broadcast for FEAT_C3STOP

2013-02-12T19:22:28Z

Commit 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function" made tick_device_uses_broadcast set up the generic broadcast function for dummy devices (where !tick_device_is_functional(dev)), but neglected to set up the broadcast function for devices that stop in low power states (with the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP flag). When these devices enter low power states they will not have the generic broadcast function assigned, and will bring down the system when an attempt is made to broadcast to them. This patch ensures that the broadcast function is also assigned for devices which require broadcast in low power states.
