We have known for a while that the old x86 model of calling init_timer()
in ramstage doesn't make sense on other archs (and is questionable in
general), and finally removed it with CL:219719. However, now timer
initialization is completely buried in the platform code, and it's hard
to ensure it is done in time to set up timestamps. For three out of four
non-x86 SoC vendors we have brought up for now, the timers need some
kind of SoC-specific initialization.
This patch reintroduces init_timer() as a weak function that can be
overridden by platform code. The call in ramstage is restricted to x86
(and should probably eventually be removed from there as well), and
other archs should call them at the earliest reasonable point in their
bootblock. (Only changing arm for now since arm64 and mips bootblocks
are still in very early state and should sync up to features in arm once
their requirements are better understood.) This allows us to move
timestamp_init() into arch code, so that we can rely on timestamps
being available at a well-defined point and initialize our base value as
early as possible. (Platforms who know that their timers start at zero
can still safely call timestamp_init(0) again from platform code.)
