CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER is kind of standing on the single zImage way.
Make OMAP2+ timer code independant from the CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER
setting.
To remove the dependancy, several conversions/additions had to be done:
1) Timer structures and initialization functions are named by the platform
   name and the clock source in use. The decision which timer is
   used is done statically from the machine_desc structure. In the
   future it should come from DT.
2) Settings under the CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER option are expanded into
   separate timer structures along with the timer init functions.
   This removes the CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER on OMAP2+ timer code.
3) Since we have all the timers defined inside machine_desc structure
   and we no longer need the fallback to gp_timer clock source in case
   32k_timer clock source is unavailable (namely on AM33xx), we no
   longer need the #ifdef around __omap2_sync32k_clocksource_init()
   function. Remove the #ifdef CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER around the
   __omap2_sync32k_clocksource_init() function.

Finally I'm sending this out...
I've lost following Tony's branches and deciding which one to base on,
so I used linux-omap/master as a base for the patch.
Tony, tell me if you want it based on some other branch.
This has been compile tested on omap1|2plus_defconfig only.

I think this should be the default for the timers as that counter
does not stop during deeper idle states.

Yes sorry it's been a bit crazy with branches to get this
header clean up done.. If it applies to master it should
be easy to apply on others.

...

Can't we assume that the default timer is omap[234]_sync32k_timer to
avoid renaming the timer entries in all the board files?

Then we just need a new timer entries for the hardware that does
not have the sycn32k_timer available?

Tony

Nit-pick, can we drop the TIMER_PROP_SECURE/ALWON and use the
"ti,timer-secure" and "ti,timer-alwon" directly?

Initially, I also defined TIMER_PROP_ALWON and Rob Herring's feedback
was to drop this and use the property string directly to remove any
abstraction.

Nit, I personally prefer keeping gptimer, because gp just means
"general-purpose" and does not imply a timer per-se.

... this just appears to be a wrapper function, but I don't see why this
is needed? Do we need this wrapper?

Something here seems a little odd. If "clksrc_name" is "gp", then the
if-else parts will call the same function. Or am I missing something here?

I think that I prefer how it works today where we call just
omap2_clocksource_init(), and it determines whether to use the gptimer
or the 32k-sync.

For OMAP I think that it is fine to default to the 32k-sync and then if
the gptimer is selected, it uses the higher frequency sys_clk as the
timer source.

For AMxxx, devices, sync-32k does not exist, and so I understand it does
not work the same.

I am wondering if the use_gptimer_clksrc, should become
use_sysclk_clksrc, and then ...

For OMAP ...
use_sysclk_clksrc = 0 --> use sync-32k (default)
use_sysclk_clksrc = 1 --> use gptimer with sys_clk

For AM33xx ...
use_sysclk_clksrc = 0 --> use gptimer with 32khz clock (default)
use_sysclk_clksrc = 1 --> use gptimer with sys_clk

It would be good if we can avoid having two timer_init functions for
each OMAP generation.

Well, it is the default as you can see from the patch.
The problem is that for boards that for some reason do not have
the 32k wired and rely on MPU/GP timer source, the default will not work
and currently there is no way for board to specify which timer source
it can use.
We have discussed this in San Diego (remember?) and you actually proposed
this way as a solution. Well, may be I took it a bit further than you
thought, but this is because the board code cannot know which timer source
should be used at runtime and the fall back described below, does not work.

Hmmm...
How will this work with the macros defining the sys_timer structure?
I would also not want to hide the exact timer used under the default name.

Well, I tried to make it small patch just for the hardware that needs it,
but I always found some corner case where, IMHO, this does not work/look good.

Well, I don't understand what do you mean by "any abstraction".
The purpose of defining those two was to eliminate multiple occurrences
of the string in the code, so for example if someone decides to change the
property string for some currently unknown reason - it will be easy and small.
Defines are a common practice for that, no?
If you still think it should be inlined, I will do.

I didn't want to add unused arguments to this function, so I've made a
wrapper below to have both the sync32k and the gp functions have the same
signature (argument list) and be called from a single macro.
Anyway, see below.

I've made this change, so we will not get something like:
omapx_gptimer_timer_init(), but this really does not meter to me,
so no problem will do for v2.

no, not really, just consider the explanation above.
I will remove the wrapper for v2.

Yes, you are right - this is odd.
What do you think of:

if (use_gptimer_clksrc) {
	omap2_gp_clocksource_init((clksrc_nr), clksrc_src);
	return;
}
omap2_##clksrc_name##_clocksource_init((clksrc_nr), clksrc_src);

There is no reliable way to determine which source should be used in runtime
for boards that do not have the 32k oscillator wired.

I agree for the 32k-sync as a default, but gptimer will not be selected
on SoC that have 32k while board does not have the 32k wired.

Well, this is more or less how it works today, but it does not consider
the board wiring information that after all defines which source should
be used. (Not all boards out there are clones of beagles and evms...)
And the generic code should be flexible enough
to enable any legal configuration.

Yes, but then we will not have the right description of the hardware
but IMHO workarounds on workarounds on...

There are several clock sources - all can be used,
why not have them described and ready for use?

I understand your point, but right now I don't anticipate that we will
have many options here and so I think that we should drop these.

Yes, but it still seems a little odd that we could have ...

 if (use_gptimer_clksrc) {
 	omap2_gp_clocksource_init((clksrc_nr), clksrc_src);
 	return;
 }
 omap2_gp_clocksource_init((clksrc_nr), clksrc_src);

Hmmm ... well for OMAP devices the 32kHz clock is mandatory AFAIK. At
least for OMAP devices and I would need to check on the AM33xx but I
would imagine they are the same. Which devices are you referring to
where the 32kHz is optional?

My whole thought here was that the 32kHz is always present. If that is
not the case then I would agree this would not work.

Well we really want to simplify this code and so I was thinking that if
a device has a 32k-sync timer AND there is a 32kHz source, then what's
the point in having an option to use a gptimer with a 32kHz source for
that device? I guess I don't see the benefit there, at least for OMAP2-5
devices specifically.

Yes. I was just wondering if we can avoid patching all the board
files by doing it the other way around by introducing a new

Yes thanks I agree we should get rid of that Kconfig option for sure.

Can't you just add a new sys_timer (or a new macro) for GP only setups?

Can you explain a bit further?

I guess what I'm after is just to avoid renaming the existing
timers in the board-*.c files and only rename the ones that
need gp timer only.

No we do not have 32k_counter block in AM335x.

If you are referring to 32Khz clock availability alone, then yes, we need to 
get persistent clock and we use RTC 32Khz clock source for it. 
But please note that this is not a 32k_counter block which OMAP family of 
devices has.

The way AM335x works is, we have timers (0-7), timer0 being secure timer.
We use timer1 and timer2 for clockevent and clocksource and they are driven 
by 26MHz OSC clock currently. So when you go into Low power state, OSC is turned off and you need persistent clock for time keeping, right?

And only persistent clock available is RTC 32khz crystal clock, being RTC is 
in wakeup domain.

I am painfully aware of that :-)

I think you are missing the point here. For OMAP devices we have two
main external clock sources which are the 32kHz clock and the sys_clk
(can be a range of frequencies from 12-38.4MHz for OMAP4). The point is
for OMAP these clock sources are always present and AFAIK there is no
h/w configuration that allows you not to have the 32kHz clock source.
PRCM needs it and I think for OMAP1 the reset logic needs it (if memory
serves).

Igor was mentioning a h/w scenario where the 32kHz source is not
present. However, I am not sure which devices support this and is
applicable too.

So we are not discussing the 32k-sync-timer here. We are discussing
whether there are any device configurations where a 32k clock source
would not be available for the gptimer.

Exactly that is the point I am trying to make here,

In case of AM33xx, it is certainly possible to build the system without 
this 32Khz clock. 

Interesting point here is, this 32KHz clock is external clock coming from 
crystal connected to in-built RTC module.

Pretty sure Igor is referring to the AM3517/3505.  This is very poorly 
documented, but can be observed in the AM3517 TRM Rev B (SPRUGR0B) Figure 
4-23 "PRM Clock Generator" and the AM3517 DM Rev C (SPRS550C) Section 4 
"Clock Specifications".

Thanks. Looking at the AM3358 data manual it states ...

"The OSC1 oscillator provides a 32.768-kHz reference clock to the
real-time clock (RTC) and is connected to the RTC_XTALIN and RTC_XTALOUT
terminals. OSC1 is disabled by default after power is applied. This
clock input is optional and may not be required if the RTC is configured
to receive a clock from the internal 32k RC oscillator (CLK_RC32K) or
peripheral PLL (CLK_32KHZ) which receives a reference clock from the
OSC0 input."

So what is clear to me that an external 32k clock source is optional.
However, it still appears that you will always have an internal 32k
source and so regardless of the h/w configuration, a gptimer will always
have an 32k clock available on the AM335x devices. Is that correct?

Internal RC oscillator is not accurate at all, so not guaranteed to give 
accurate 32.768Hz clock. The oscillation band is from 16Khz to 64Khz.

So it may not be useful as a system clocks, right?

Thanks,

Thanks Paul. But AFAICT, even in that h/w configuration the internal 32k
oscillator will be used and so the gptimer will still have a 32k clock
source.

So I still don't see a use-case where the gptimer would not have a 32k
source available. Admittedly, I could be missing one somewhere or I am
just plain old wrong ...

So I admit I am not familiar with the details on the AMxxxx stuff side
so much.

So maybe I should ask this question ...

Do you support a configuration where there is no external 32k clock AND
the internal oscillator and hence, RTC are not used?

I would have expected that you would always want the RTC running, but if
you are saying that you don't require an external 32k and the internal
32k is not accurate, then I assume that having the RTC available is not
mandatory either.

Just to clarify, there's no internal 32k oscillator used on the 3517/3505; 
just a divider from the HF clock.

> and so the gptimer will still have a 32k clock source.

That's a good question and you might want to check with Igor on that one,
the AM3517 TRM conflicts with the DM as to whether it's available to the 
GPTIMER or not :-(

Why not, you could give-up on persistent time across suspend/resume and use 
OSC clock as a input clock to timer.

And the timer code, which we have we have added fallback mechanism for this,
First make sure that timer is properly set for RTC32K, if yes, then use it, 
and if no, then fall back to OSC clock.

Yes, it is not mandatory, considering fact that, you will not have 
persistent time and other low-power modes. 
Actually it depends on board/EVM use-case, right?

Ah yes I see that now!

Well the external 32k and internal divided down version go through the
same mux and so that seems to imply either they are both available to
the gptimer or neither is.

You mean sync-32k and not rtc32k right? We are just detecting the
presence of the sync-32k counter and if so use it, otherwise use a gptimer.

Yes absolutely, just trying to understand if that is a valid use-case or
not. So for AM33xx the external 32k is not mandatory. Thanks.

So thinking about this some more and given that we are moving away from
board files, if a board does not provide a 32kHz clock source, then this
should be reflected in the device-tree source file for that board.
Hence, at boot time we should be able to determine if a 32kHz clock
source can be used.

Let me feed some more thoughts here :)

The way it is being detected currently is based on timer idle status bit.
I am worried that, this is the only option we have.

You can also refer to the implementation, so that it will help us to 
conclude on this -

http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=linux-am33x.git;a=commitdiff;h=58abec6ac010f4f8818caa4a52d16c4802e14acc

Note that this is based on v3.2 kernel (+ additional patches), you should 
look the implementation of function omap_dm_timer_switch_src().

Why not use device-tree to indicate the presence of a 32k clock source?
This seems like a board level configuration and so device-tree seems to
be the perfect place for this IMO.

By the way, according to the AM3358 data manual (paragraph above), even
if there is no external 32k clock source and if you don't use the
internal 32k oscillator, you can still generate a 32k clock from the PER
PLL (CLK_32KHZ). So therefore, there should always be a 32k clock source
available for the gptimer. Is that correct?

At the end of the day, I am just trying to understand if any OMAP/AM
device supports a h/w configuration where there is no 32k clock source
available for the gptimer.

Is the renaming that bad? One line per machine_desc structure?
Of course we can skip the renaming, but then it will be less consistent
and will not reflect the actual timer source used.
I tried to make it flexible as much as possible and self explanatory.
So above are my considerations, but at this point in time I don't really
care if we rename them or just add a new one, but we have to get rid of
the ugly fall back.

Of course I can... but I tried to create a flexible generic code, so
no meter how a board will be wired, you just need to specify which timer source
it uses and be done with it.

Yes, OMAP4 has its own "local" timer function, OMAP5 - the real time timer
function, we have that fall back from 32k to gptimer for AM33xx and we also
have the use_gptimer_clksrc parameter.
All the above call the same timer source init functions at the end.

This means: get rid of the 32k to gptimer fall back.
I've got your point, will cook something shortly.

Yes, of course I understand your point, but that's how macro expansion work.
The only idea left in my mind is to move the check for use_gptimer_clksrc
to the omap2_sync32k_clocksource_init() function, but I don't like it, as
omap2_sync32k_clocksource_init() function should deal with the sync32k init
and if use_gptimer_clksrc is set, the function should not be called at all.
I really don't think this is a problem.
Do you have another idea how we can reuse the macro and
not have the above oddness?

As Paul already mentioned, AM35xx can work without the external 32kHz
oscillator.

We have also, another case where, you don't want to use the 32k as a source
and use sys_clk to have higher precision.

Hmmm, that how it is done currently (before my patch),
or do I miss something?

Well, this allows certain hardware variants to work properly.
Isn't this a benefit?

Yep, but the /800 do not get you the 32768...
and that makes the timer suck.
Of course this can be dealt with in the clock subsystem
(I remember Paul said that he will look into that), but it will take time.

Also, what about having the sys_clk instead of 32k for higher precision?
Is that possible already (without my patch)?

Yes, it is possible. You can choose it through bootargs.

Yes that's correct, but it is from PER domain, so duging suspend time, it 
will be disabled. This can not be treated as a persistent clock.

I know and completely understand. We need to come up with solution which

Is the kernel command line the only way for doing this?
I personally dislike it, because it brings multiple maintenance problems.
This must be possible at least through DT.

I think I agree with you, but for this to happen in clean way, its time to 
start populating clock-nodes in DT, don't you think? Something like,


clocks {
	rtc_clk: clk@X {
		compatible = "crystal-32k, per-32k, xyz";
		clock-frequency = <32768>;
	};
	...
};

Timer {

	ref-clock = <&rtc_clk>;
};

What do you think?

I am not quite sure about runtime change of clocksoyrce, its pros and cons.

That's indeed the proper way to do it, since this is a pure board level
parameter and we do have the binding to express that.
We just have to add that in the DTS:-)

I am not sure if you guys disagree, but does it make sense to start
thinking about this with regard to device-tree? With device-tree all the
boards files will become obsolete and so we need to be able to handle
this during boot time and not compile time.

If you are concerned about how a board is wired up (if the 32k is
present), then I think that that is best handled via device-tree and we
should query device-tree on boot to see what our options are.

What do you guys think?

Sorry, but that was not clear to me from whats in the commit message.

Should we be doing this now instead of adding all these static timer
init functions?

Are there any boards today (supported in the kernel that is), that don't
support a 32k?

If not, then this becomes simpler for the non-DT case and given that
boards such as the AM335x will only support DT boot then we can figure
out how to detect the presence of the 32k for DT only.

This is understood completely, but I personally think that we should not
neglect the "still not converted to DT boards", because the conversion
takes time and involves much more effort. Also taking into account that
there are subsystems that are still not converted to DT.

Also, removing the CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER _does_ get us closer to handle
the timers init during boot time.

Yes, but again, you can't neglect the non-DT case... at least
until you have everything converted to DT.

From the commit message:
"1) Timer structures and initialization functions are named by the platform
   name and the clock source in use. The decision which timer is
   used is done statically from the machine_desc structure. In the
   future it should come from DT."

The last sentence has it.
The transition to DT is not immediate and we can't (still) neglect
the non-DT setups.

I don't see this as "adding ...", I see this as expanding the setup
which was previously hidden by the CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER option.

Yes, starting from revision 1.2, CM-T3517 does not have the 32k.

Right, but it does not go into the details. It would be good to have
added a comment to the effect of "some boards do not have a 32k clock
source and in the future this should be handled by device-tree".

> The transition to DT is not immediate and we can't (still) neglect

Absolutely, but I am trying to understand if there are boards being
"neglected". I see now that your CM-T3517 would be. This was not clear
from your patch as even the CM-T3517 board was being configured to the
use the sync32k timer. So from looking at your patch I did not see any
neglected boards, however, I understand your motivation to add all these
init functions so that boards could be customised easily.

Thanks, this is the exact information I was looking for. You should put
this in your commit message to highlight the fact that there are boards
that don't have a 32k clock source.

I am familiar with the OMAP devices, but less familiar with these AMxxxx
derivatives (as I don't work with these) and so it is good to put these
specifics in the commit message.

Cheers
Jon

I did not changed the CM-T3517, because I believe it should be done
in a separate patch.

It should be possible to implement this now that the CCF conversion is 
done.  Not sure if I'll be able to get to it soon, though.

Is there anyone out there at TI who is focused on AM3517/3505 upstream 
work?
