Linus Walleij 980097b360 clocksource: arm_generic: use integer math helpers
This will make the two crucial integer divisions in the generic
ARM arch timer used for ARMv8 use the kernel DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST()
helper inline from <linux/kernel.h> so they get more precise.

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.
