Chen Gang 6916b14ea1 arm64: kernel: compiling issue, need delete read_current_timer()
Under arm64, we will calibrate the delay loop statically using a known
timer frequency, so delete read_current_timer(), or it will cause
compiling issue with allmodconfig.

The related error:
  ERROR: "read_current_timer" [lib/rbtree_test.ko] undefined!
  ERROR: "read_current_timer" [lib/interval_tree_test.ko] undefined!
  ERROR: "read_current_timer" [fs/ext4/ext4.ko] undefined!

Marc Zyngier 985c0679df arm64: Generic timers support
This patch adds support for the ARM generic timers with A64 instructions
for accessing the timer registers. It uses the physical counter as the
clock source and the virtual counter as sched_clock.

The timer frequency can be specified via DT or read from the CNTFRQ_EL0
register. The physical counter is also accessible from user space
allowing fast gettimeofday() implementation.
