It was discovered that 64-bit mmio MCT counter holds
the same value as ARM arch timer 64-bit physical counter.
Even more: arch timer and MCT are same underlying hardware
timer.

Patch adds code to MCT to allow it to read 64-bit counter
from coprocessor cp15 registers since it's way more
faster than reading the same counter from MCT mmio region.

That functionality triggers only if special property
use-cp15-phys-counter is present in device tree,
only on 32-bit ARMv7 systems and only if HYP mode is
available.

Idea of rewriting accessors is taken from arm_arch_timer.c.

By default MCT will read counter from mmio since it's
guaranteed to work.

Hi,

It would be nice to put here also the measurements from cover letter.
This would be the justification for the commit.

I guess same optimization could be done for ARMv8 Exynos SoCs?

I think these could be static.

This looks like a property specific to Exynos. Add a "samsung," prefix.

Ok, I will add them. I will try to find time to perform more precise
measurements.

I honestly don't know, don't have access to ARMv8 Exynos SoCs.
If i remember correctly there are no public-available 64-bit Exynos
boards yet. Exynos7420 is on the way to be released.

The main concern is that MCT probably not enabled for arm64 and
some cleanup/re-factoring is required for cycles_t variable. See
message in exynos4_read_current_timer() in MCT.
Also ARMv8 requires arm generic timer to be available and fully
operational. So for me it looks like current upstream kernel will work
on top of arm arch timer.

Yeah. Will fix it right away.
