BL3-1 architecture setup code programs the system counter frequency into the CNTFRQ_EL0 register. This frequency is defined by the platform, though. This patch introduces a new platform hook that the architecture setup code can call to retrieve this information. In the ARM FVP port, this returns the first entry of the frequency modes table from the memory mapped generic timer. All system counter setup code has been removed from BL1 as some platforms may not have initialized the system counters at this stage. The platform specific settings done exclusively in BL1 have been moved to BL3-1. In the ARM FVP port, this consists in enabling and initializing the System level generic timer. Also, the frequency change request in the counter control register has been set to 0 to make it explicit it's using the base frequency. The CNTCR_FCREQ() macro has been fixed in this context to give an entry number rather than a bitmask. In future, when support for firmware update is implemented, there is a case where BL1 platform specific code will need to program the counter frequency. This should be implemented at that time. This patch also updates the relevant documentation. |
