Subject: [PATCH v3 7/8] ARM64: enable PBL_CLOCKSOURCE compatibility
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 16:01:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817-feature-pbl-get-time-ns-v3-7-9874c1438855@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817-feature-pbl-get-time-ns-v3-0-9874c1438855@pengutronix.de>
All ARMv8-A cores implement the 64bit wide generic timer CNTPCT[1]. If
the architected timer driver is enabled the barebox PBL automatically is
PBL_CLOCKSOURCE compatible.
The setup of the PBL clocksource is implemented in the newly added PBL
constructors which are called at the end of setup_c. There is one catch
though:
The CNTFRQ_EL0 register[2] must be programmed by the bootrom, barebox or
the tf-a before the `arm_arch_timer_init` call. A later
re-initialization is also possible by calling `arm_arch_timer_init`
again.
[1]: See "ARM Architecture Reference Manual for A-profile architecture
(rev L.a)", chapter D12 "The Generic Timer in AArch64 state"
[2]: See "ARM Architecture Reference Manual for A-profile architecture
(rev L.a)", chapter D12.1.2.1 "Initializing and reading the system
effective frequency"
