Subject: [PATCH 11/13] clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Fix masking for high freq counters
Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2021 16:26:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210809152651.2297337-12-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210809152651.2297337-1-maz@kernel.org>
From: Oliver Upton <oupton@google.com>
Unfortunately, the architecture provides no means to determine the bit
width of the system counter. However, we do know the following from the
specification:
- the system counter is at least 56 bits wide
- Roll-over time of not less than 40 years
To date, the arch timer driver has depended on the first property,
assuming any system counter to be 56 bits wide and masking off the rest.
However, combining a narrow clocksource mask with a high frequency
counter could result in prematurely wrapping the system counter by a
significant margin. For example, a 56 bit wide, 1GHz system counter
would wrap in a mere 2.28 years!
This is a problem for two reasons: v8.6+ implementations are required to
provide a 64 bit, 1GHz system counter. Furthermore, before v8.6,
implementers may select a counter frequency of their choosing.
Fix the issue by deriving a valid clock mask based on the second
property from above. Set the floor at 56 bits, since we know no system
counter is narrower than that.
