2013-02-11	ARC: Timers/counters/delay management	Vineet Gupta
	ARC700 includes 2 in-core 32bit timers TIMER0 and TIMER1. Both have exactly same capabilies. * programmable to count from TIMER<n>_CNT to TIMER<n>_LIMIT * for count 0 and LIMIT ~1, provides a free-running counter by auto-wrapping when limit is reached. * optionally interrupt when LIMIT is reached (oneshot event semantics) * rearming the interrupt provides periodic semantics * run at CPU clk ARC Linux uses TIMER0 for clockevent (periodic/oneshot) and TIMER1 for clocksource (free-running clock). Newer cores provide RTSC insn which gives a 64bit cpu clk snapshot hence is more apt for clocksource when available. SMP poses a bit of challenge for global timekeeping clocksource / sched_clock() backend: -TIMER1 based local clocks are out-of-sync hence can't be used (thus we default to jiffies based cs as well as sched_clock() one/both of which platform can override with it's specific hardware assist) -RTSC is only allowed in SMP if it's cross-core-sync (Kconfig glue ensures that) and thus usable for both requirements.
