Hi John,

These changes are required to support SMP.

This includes an update so that the non-local timer is set
to run on the 1st CPU, the addition of local timer support
and support for on chip memory.

I have question here about SCU_CPU_TIMER_BASE.
I have looked at your arm-next branch and you are using there TTC0_BASE
at 0xF8001000 address which is external timer.
Here you are using SCU internal timer at 0xF8F00600.

You are using TTC with three counters (from your comment).
T1: Timer 1, clocksource for generic timekeeping
T2: Timer 2, clockevent source for hrtimers
T3: Timer 3, <unused>

From twd_timer_setup I see that it looks like that only new clockevent is registered.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
Would it be possible to use timer 3 for the second cpu? I expect that your code just register new clockevent device. System will contain 2 CPU that's why this shouldn't be a problem.

TGLX: Is it correct assumption that SMP system has one clocksource and one clockevent device for every CPU in the system? (Sorry I don't have any experience with SMP)

I don't know if there is an option to use only internal CPU timers for Linux and keep ttc for other purpose.

BTW: I think that will be better to spit this patch to two. The first for local timer and the second for OCM.

Thanks,
Michal
