Marc Zyngier 8266891e25 ARM: arch_timers: switch to physical timers if HYP mode is available
If we're booted in HYP mode, it is possible that we'll run some
kind of virtualized environment. In this case, it is a better to
switch to the physical timers, and leave the virtual timers to
guests.

Mark Rutland 1aee5d7a81 arm64: move from arm_generic to arm_arch_timer
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.

Mark Rutland 8a4da6e36c arm: arch_timer: move core to drivers/clocksource
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.
