Subject[PATCH v2 08/12] clocksource: mips-gic-timer: Enable counter when CPUs start
Date
From: Paul Burton <paulburton@kernel.org>

In multi-cluster MIPS I6500 systems we have a GIC in each cluster, each
with its own counter. When a cluster powers up the counter will be
stopped, with the COUNTSTOP bit set in the GIC_CONFIG register.

In single cluster systems it has been fine for us to clear COUNTSTOP
once in gic_clocksource_of_init() in order to start the counter, since
with only one cluster we know that we won't be resetting that cluster's
GIC at any point (ignoring suspend/resume cycles which would need to
handle clearing COUNTSTOP in the resume path). Once we support
multi-cluster systems this will only have started the counter in the
boot cluster, and any CPUs in other clusters will find their counter
stopped which will break the GIC clock_event_device.

Resolve this by having CPUs clear the COUNTSTOP bit when they come
online, using the existing gic_starting_cpu() CPU hotplug callback. This
will allow CPUs in secondary clusters to ensure that the cluster's GIC
counter is running as expected.
