We add a separate CLINT timer driver for Linux RISC-V M-mode (i.e. RISC-V NoMMU kernel). The CLINT MMIO device provides three things: 1. 64bit free running counter register 2. 64bit per-CPU time compare registers 3. 32bit per-CPU inter-processor interrupt registers Unlike other timer devices, CLINT provides IPI registers along with timer registers. To use CLINT IPI registers, the CLINT timer driver provides IPI related callbacks to arch/riscv.

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.
