[ Upstream commit 8b4127f6db40381229f3564d34ac35f36311c201 ]

The Armada timer init paths enable their clock before calling the
common initialization routine. If that routine returns an error, the
clock is left enabled even though the timer was not initialized
successfully.

[ Upstream commit e998c6300ef4e062a704ee17b5a812c0b595cf42 ]

clps711x_clksrc_init() stores the timer base address in the static tcd
pointer and registers it as both the clocksource MMIO address and the
sched_clock read address.

The clocksource init path must therefore keep the mapping alive after
clps711x_timer_init() returns. However, the shared unmap_io exit path is
also reached after successful clocksource registration, so the MMIO
mapping is torn down while the clocksource and sched_clock readers may
still access it.

Return directly after successful clocksource registration and leave the
mapping alive for the registered readers. Keep the unmap_io path for the
error paths and for the clockevent init path.

commit d21808328225ab8cee46885bf9a0dffcefbe630e upstream.

sun4i_clkevt_next_event() compensates for the timer stop/start
synchronization delay by programming evt - TIMER_SYNC_TICKS into the
hardware interval register. The clockevent device currently advertises
TIMER_SYNC_TICKS as min_delta_ticks, so the clockevents core is allowed
to call set_next_event() with evt == TIMER_SYNC_TICKS.

That programs a zero-tick interval. With oneshot/highres/nohz timer
operation this can leave the next event stuck, which was observed as a
boot hang on Allwinner D1 after the clockevents core started reusing
forced minimum-delta events.

Advertise one extra tick instead, so the smallest event accepted by the
core still programs at least one hardware tick after the synchronization
compensation.

commit ca57bf46e7a94f8c53d05c376df9fcfdcb482100 upstream.

Tegra SoCs support multiple watchdogs; currently only one (WDT0) is
used. When multiple watchdogs are registered, tegra186_wdt_enable()
overwrites the TKEIE(x) register, discarding any existing watchdog
interrupt enable bits. As a result, enabling one watchdog inadvertently
disables interrupts for the others.

Fix this by preserving the existing TKEIE(x) value and updating it
using a read-modify-write sequence.

[ Upstream commit b1278972b08e480990e2789bdc6a7c918bc349be ]

The TMU device can be used as both a clocksource and a clockevent
provider. The driver tries to be smart and power itself on and off, as
well as enabling and disabling its clock when it's not in operation.
This behavior is slightly altered if the TMU is used as an early
platform device in which case the device is left powered on after probe,
but the clock is still enabled and disabled at runtime.

This has worked for a long time, but recent improvements in PREEMPT_RT
and PROVE_LOCKING have highlighted an issue. As the TMU registers itself
as a clockevent provider, clockevents_register_device(), it needs to use
raw spinlocks internally as this is the context of which the clockevent
framework interacts with the TMU driver. However in the context of
holding a raw spinlock the TMU driver can't really manage its power
state or clock with calls to pm_runtime_*() and clk_*() as these calls
end up in other platform drivers using regular spinlocks to control
power and clocks.

This mix of spinlock contexts trips a lockdep warning.

probe.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit eaa9bb1d39d59e7c17b06cec12622b7c586ab629 ]

On RV32, updating the 64-bit stimecmp (or vstimecmp) CSR requires two
separate 32-bit writes. A race condition exists if the timer triggers
during these two writes.

The RISC-V Privileged Specification (e.g., Section 3.2.1 for mtimecmp)
recommends a specific 3-step sequence to avoid spurious interrupts
when updating 64-bit comparison registers on 32-bit systems:

1. Set the low-order bits (stimecmp) to all ones (ULONG_MAX).
2. Set the high-order bits (stimecmph) to the desired value.
3. Set the low-order bits (stimecmp) to the desired value.

Current implementation writes the LSB first without ensuring a future
value, which may lead to a transient state where the 64-bit comparison
is incorrectly evaluated as "expired" by the hardware. This results in
spurious timer interrupts.

This patch adopts the spec-recommended 3-step sequence to ensure the
intermediate 64-bit state is never smaller than the current time.
