The Meson8b SoC is using four Cortex-A5 cores. These come with an ARM global timer. This adds the Cortex-A5 global timer but keeps it disabled for now. The timer is clocked by the "PERIPH" clock whose rate can change during runtime (when changing the frequency of the CPU clock). Unfortunately the arm_global_timer driver does not handle changes to the clock rate yet.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
