Hi Guys,
I'm trying to cleanup the old timer API as much as possible in preparation for the new API. I've managed to purge reset_timer() for all but Nios2 as well as get_timer(). Where timer_init() was calling set_timer() or reset_timer() I folded the code into timer_init()
I have then proceeded to do the same to reset_timer_masked() - Mostly this was only called by reset_timer() which in turn was only called by timer_init(), but the following 8 files have reset_timer_masked() used in udelay()
arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/omap/timer.c arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/versatile/timer.c arch/arm/cpu/arm1136/omap24xx/timer.c arch/arm/cpu/arm1136/mx35/timer.c arch/arm/cpu/arm920t/a320/timer.c arch/arm/cpu/armv7/s5p-common/timer.c arch/arm/cpu/lh7a40x/timer.c board/armltd/vexpress/ca9x4_ct_vxp.c
Now I'm sure something very funky is going on which allows udelay() to call reset_timer_masked() with impacting on get_timer() but I don't know ARM at all and I'm not willing to mess around with these for fear of causing a rather large breakage.
Can someone please look into these and let me know how I can safely sanitise these 8 implementations of udelay()?
If all else fails, I'll just make reset_timer_masked static in these files
Thanks in advance
Graeme
