timer.c use static data and change this before relocation,
where bss section (in which the static data is stored) is
not valid. Instead before relocation there is the .rel.dyn
section overlayed.

Move all static variables into global_data structure.

Tested on the omap3_beagle board.

can't this generalized in some way?
AT91 still has some values like that in global_data, yesterday David Müller sent a patch for S3C24X0 to add some values like that to global_data ... we have a lot of arm cores out there, should each get his own style of global_data?

Good question.

A common way would be better, ideas are welcome ;-)

For example we could rename for the armv7 timer variants the "lastinc"
and "lastdec" value in "lastval", so we could merge them ... if it
is possible to find a solution for all arm cores, I don;t know ...

It can, and it should.

But I suggest we handle such a cleanup as a separate task and defer it
until the next release (which means that any such patches will go to
the "next" branch if they come now).

I guess if we provide something like

	uint64_t   timebase;
	uint32_t   timelast;

this should cover most of the cases. We can add this without ifdef's,
and only eventually a few implementations may need another variable
added.

Patches welcome...

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

I think Reinhard is already thinking about a solution.

A short look to the arm/cpu/**/timer.c showed that most of them use a 16
bit timer to provide an 32 bit timer value. For that class of timer
implementation it would be suffucient to have a 'uint32_t
last_timer_val' and an 'uint32_t timestamp' in GD.

Thanks for your work.
But, I already fixed it by other way.

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/72226/

Please remove s5p in your patch.
If need, I'll make the patch.

Thanks
