[RFC,v2,6/6] virtio_rtc: Add Arm Generic Timer cross-timestamping

Commit Message

Peter Hilber Aug. 18, 2023, 1:20 a.m. UTC

Add PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE2 support on platforms using the Arm Generic
Timer.

Always report the CP15 virtual counter as the HW counter in use by
arm_arch_timer, since the Linux kernel's usage of the Arm Generic Timer
should always be compatible with this.

Notes:
    v2:
    
    - Depend on prerequisite patch series "treewide: Use clocksource id for
      get_device_system_crosststamp()".
    
    - Return clocksource id instead of calling dropped arm_arch_timer helpers.
    
    - Always report the CP15 virtual counter to be in use by arm_arch_timer,
      since distinction of Arm physical and virtual counter appears unneeded
      after discussion with Marc Zyngier.
