Now the System stall is observed on TI AM437x based board
(am437x-gp-evm) during resuming from System suspend when ARM Global
timer is selected as clocksource device - SysRq are working, but
nothing else. The reason of stall is that ARM Global timer loses its
contexts.

The reason of stall is that ARM Global timer loses its contexts during
System suspend:
   GT_CONTROL.TIMER_ENABLE = 0 (unbanked)
   GT_COUNTERx = 0

Hence, update ARM Global timer driver to reflect above behaviour
- save GT_CONTROL.TIMER_ENABLE during suspend and restore on resume;
- ensure clocksource and clockevent devices have coresponding flags
  (CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP and CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP) set
  depending on presence of "always-on" DT property.

do you really need to save context if all you restore is TIMER_ENABLE
bit ? seems like you could skip gt_suspend altogether. Is there really a
situation where this driver is running and GT isn't enabled ?

Now It's not. It's always enabled. I did it because .suspend() is called for
all registered clock sources regardless of their usage. So, potentially
in the future, at the moment when .suspend() is called it might be disabled
(for example, .enable/disable() callbacks can be added and, if ARM Global timer
will not be registered as sched_clock, it will be possible to keep it disabled 
if not used now).

But It's not essentially now - I can update it and drop save restore. 
Pls, confirm.

I think it's best to skip suspend completely. You're not restoring
anything you saved during suspend, unless you meant | where you used &.

I didn't get it - I'm restoring one bit(0) only.

that's the point, if you know you're restoring only that bit. Why save
anything at all ?

i think there are difference between "restoring" and "re-enabling".
"restoring" - assume saving smth.. then restore saving value.
I'm saving & restoring one bit here.

But I can do just "re-enabling" -
   writel(GT_CONTROL_TIMER_ENABLE, gt_base + GT_CONTROL);
and then I don't need to save anything. It will work with current
code.

with your current suspend/resume, they are the same thing. You save
GT_CONTROL contents, timer goes off and looses context, you set ENABLE
bit. No difference what so ever.

I'm writing:
gt_control & GT_CONTROL_TIMER_ENABLE, where gt_control is old value of GT_CONTROL 
before entering suspend, so on resume:
 - if gt_control == 0x0000 0001 ==> gt_control & GT_CONTROL_TIMER_ENABLE(0x1) == 0x1
 - if gt_control == 0x0000 0000 ==> gt_control & GT_CONTROL_TIMER_ENABLE(0x1) == 0x0

What am I missed?

Any way, I'll wait for other comments a bit, replace save/restore with
just pure re-enabling and re-send.

Thanks.

Please folks, trim your emails! I'm really tired of going through
hundreds of quoted (quoting level here was 10!!!) useless lines to
find a single line of useful information.
