SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 0/6] clocksource: rework Atmel TCB timer driver
Date
Hello Alexandre,

This is actually quite annoying when using the UART as a serial console,
producing garbage when you type too fast. That's why I tested this patch
series (on top of v4.16-rc7). Target is a at91sam9g20 based board, quite close
to, but not actually an at91sam9g20-ek.

First test was with the previous kernel config updated by oldconfig, so
basically still using the PIT:

+CONFIG_ATMEL_CLOCKSOURCE_PIT=y

On the serial console with v4.16 and the patch set without switching to the
new options, I see this on boot (no surprise, this is what it also prints with
v4.9):

clocksource: pit: mask: 0xfffffff max_cycles: 0xfffffff, max_idle_ns:
14468723050 ns

clocksource: jiffies: mask: 0xffffffff max_cycles: 0xffffffff, max_idle_ns:
19112604462750000 ns

clocksource: tcb_clksrc: mask: 0xffffffff max_cycles: 0xffffffff,
max_idle_ns: 115749784805 ns

clocksource: Switched to clocksource tcb_clksrc

Interrupts here:

$ cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0
16: 4802 atmel-aic 1 Level at91_tick, rtc0, ttyS0
19: 24041 atmel-aic 19 Level tc_clkevt
26: 124 atmel-aic 21 Level eth0
28: 1 GPIO 11 Edge reset
Err: 0

Second test with tcb block added to dts like in
32ce250b0af3b6971fc746445fce87861a9f5628 and with changed kernel config
according to defconfig changes in patch 5 and 6:

+# CONFIG_ATMEL_CLOCKSOURCE_PIT is not set
+CONFIG_ATMEL_CLOCKSOURCE_TCB=y
-CONFIG_ATMEL_TCLIB=y
-CONFIG_ATMEL_TCB_CLKSRC=y
-CONFIG_ATMEL_TCB_CLKSRC_BLOCK=0
+# CONFIG_ATMEL_TCLIB is not set
-CONFIG_ATMEL_PIT=y
+CONFIG_ATMEL_ARM_TCB_CLKSRC=y
-CONFIG_PWM_ATMEL_TCB=m

The output on the serial console contains this:

clocksource: timer@fffa0000:0,1: mask: 0xffffffff max_cycles: 0xffffffff,
max_idle_ns: 115749784805 ns

clocksource: jiffies: mask: 0xffffffff max_cycles: 0xffffffff, max_idle_ns:
19112604462750000 ns

clocksource: Switched to clocksource timer@fffa0000:0,1

Interrupts here:

$ cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0
17: 5727291 atmel-aic 19 Level timer@fffa0000:2
18: 5523 atmel-aic 1 Level rtc0, ttyS0
26: 5031 atmel-aic 21 Level eth0
28: 1 GPIO 11 Edge reset
Err: 0

So, the board boots and runs like usual. I don't know if that qualifies for a
Tested-by? Hope that helps.
