The currently used method adjusting the clocksource to a changing input
frequency does not work on kernels from 3.11 on.
The new approach is to keep the timer frequency as constant as possible.
I.e.
- due to the TTC's prescaler limitations, allow frequency changes
only if the frequency scales by a power of 2
- adjust the counter's divider on the fly when a frequency change
occurs
This limits cpufreq to scale by certain factors only.
But we may keep the time base somewhat constant, so that sleep() & co
keep working as expected, while supporting cpufreq.

The timer core takes care of serialization and IRQs. Hence the driver is
no longer required to disable interrupts when calling
clockevents_update_freq().

Add Kconfig entries for CMT, MTU2, TMU and STI to

Now when drivers/clocksource/Kconfig has been
updated with entires for CMT, TMU, MTU2, and STI
it is safe to remove these from mach-shmobile.

Add broadcast clock-event device for the Keystone arch.
The timer can be configured as a general-purpose 64-bit timer,
dual general-purpose 32-bit timers. When configured as dual 32-bit
timers, each half can operate in conjunction (chain mode) or
independently (unchained mode) of each other.

This patch provides bindings for the 64-bit timer in the KeyStone

It is global timer is a free running up-counter and can generate interrupt

Include appropriate header file kernel/time/timekeeping_internal.h in
kernel/time/timekeeping_debug.c because it has prototype declaration of
function defined in kernel/time/timekeeping_debug.c.

The internal_add_timer() function updates base->next_timer only if
timer->expires < base->next_timer. This is correct, but it also makes
sense to do the same if we add the first non-deferrable timer.

The __run_timers() function currently steps through the list one jiffy at
a time in order to update the timer wheel. However, if the timer wheel
is empty, no adjustment is needed other than updating ->timer_jiffies.
Therefore, just before we add a timer to an empty timer wheel, we should
mark the timer wheel as being up to date. This marking will reduce (and
perhaps eliminate) the jiffy-stepping that a future __run_timers() call
will need to do in response to some future timer posting or migration.
This commit therefore updates ->timer_jiffies for this case.

Currently, the tvec_base structure's ->active_timers field tracks only
the non-deferrable timers, which means that even if ->active_timers is

deferrable or not.
