2013-03-02metag: Time keepingJames Hogan
Add time keeping code for metag. Meta hardware threads have 2 timers. The background timer (TXTIMER) is used as a free-running time base, and the interrupt timer (TXTIMERI) is used for the timer interrupt. Both counters traditionally count at approximately 1MHz.

2013-01-31arm64: move from arm_generic to arm_arch_timerMark Rutland
The arch_timer driver supports a superset of the functionality of the arm_generic driver, and is not tied to a particular arch. This patch moves arm64 to use the arch_timer driver, gaining additional functionality in doing so, and removes the (now unused) arm_generic driver. Timer-related hooks specific to arm64 are moved into arch/arm64/kernel/time.c.

2013-01-31arm: arch_timer: move core to drivers/clocksourceMark Rutland
The core functionality of the arch_timer driver is not directly tied to anything under arch/arm, and can be split out. This patch factors out the core of the arch_timer driver, so it can be shared with other architectures. A couple of functions are added so that architecture-specific code can interact with the driver without needing to touch its internals. The ARM_ARCH_TIMER config variable is moved out to drivers/clocksource/Kconfig, existing uses in arch/arm are replaced with HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER, which selects it.

2012-09-17arm64: Generic timers supportMarc Zyngier
This patch adds support for the ARM generic timers with A64 instructions for accessing the timer registers. It uses the physical counter as the clock source and the virtual counter as sched_clock. The timer frequency can be specified via DT or read from the CNTFRQ_EL0 register. The physical counter is also accessible from user space allowing fast gettimeofday() implementation.
